We successfully concluded a 2-day Subnational Awareness Outreach Workshop in Port Moresby for Community Leaders and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) from New Ireland Province.
The workshop focused on strengthening understanding of resource governance, transparency, and the role of communities and CSOs in the PNG Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (PNG EITI) process.
