United National Development Program

The workshop will be conducted by United National Development Program (UNDP) in collaboration with National Parliament of PNG, Department of Community Development and Religion and Office of the Registrar of Political Parties.

This workshop is for women who are considering standing for the 2017 national elections and women community leaders who wish to develop their leadership, advocacy and policy skills. 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) endorsed by the United Nations in September 2015 aim to improve on the shortfalls of the MDG’s.

The SDG’s are a new set of goals adopted by United Nation members to achieve over the next 15 years.

SDG’s Coordinator in the United Nations Development Program to PNG, Pio Smith, says while there have been many successes of the MDG’s, implemented from 2000 to 2015, it was also important to talk about the failures.
