Scaling the SKILLS Eco-Action Project: Climate-Smart Agro-ecology and Nutrition Innovation in Papua New Guinea.
Deadline: 30 Apr 2026 · 13 days left
Rural communities in PNG face low agricultural productivity and chronic malnutrition, with nearly half of children suffering from stunted growth. This dialogue seeks to co-create a roadmap for scaling the SKILLS Eco-Action Project, which focuses on empowering women and youth through climate-smart agro-ecology, cash crop diversification, and digital peer-learning. The goal is to bridge the gap between government policy and community needs to strengthen climate resilience and local livelihoods.
Participants are invited to address these three core questions:
Hon. Garry Juffa.
Governor · Oro Province Government.
"I am pleased to support this open dialogue platform, which comes at a critical time for Papua New Guinea’s rural and coastal communities. Our experience in Oro Province shows that strengthening nutrition, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods requires closer collaboration between government, industry, and communities. This dialogue provides an important opportunity to share practical knowledge, align policy with real community needs, and elevate local and indigenous solutions. I welcome the chance for diverse stakeholders to come together, exchange ideas, and co-create actionable pathways that will deliver lasting benefits for our people and future generations."
Target stakeholders include national and local government agencies, agribusiness professionals, financial institutions, research specialists, and regulatory bodies.
