PNG-Aus-Partnership

Aus-PNG collaboration empowering workforce and equality

A recent visit by Australian High Commission Minister-Counsellor Diane Barclay to the construction site of the upcoming Metoreia Health Centre in Hanuabada, Port Moresby, marked a significant step in this endeavour.

The focal point of this pioneering venture is the inauguration of the Trade Qualifications Program, a pioneering initiative aimed at invigorating local workforce engagement while nurturing fundamental carpentry and plumbing skills.

PNG-Aus Partnership Strengthening Governance

The collaborative effort aims to strengthen the institutions and processes that promote transparency and accountability.

A significant milestone in this partnership was reached in November 2022 with the establishment of the Permanent Parliamentary Committee on Gender Equality, Women's Empowerment (GEWE), and Gender-based Violence (GBV).
