The Wood Processors Tool Kit supports the expansion of the value added wood processing industry in PNG. We're creating a one-stop source of information for the public and private sectors. We're also linking-up with similar research and development initiatives at local, national and international levels. The Wood Processors Tool Kit will provide a set of multi-media resources on the following topics:
- Wood species and properties
- Wood processing techniques
- Wood processing partnerships
- Wood products and markets
These resources are freely available for viewing and downloading from this website. They're also available from the Wood Processors Dropbox and Google Drive folders which currently contains 45 files in 21 folders. You're welcome to:

The following publications by Tony Bartlett at the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) docment the history of the ACIAR forestry program and examine the relative success of 30 completed projects in Vietnam, Indonesia and PNG:
-
Evolution of the ACIAR forestry program: This article explains what ACIAR is, how it does its business, how the forestry program has evolved over thirty years and what some of the impacts have been.
-
Evaluation of relative success of research projects: This article includes a review of various evaluation methods used in international development, develops a new methodology for evaluating relative success of a group of projects and then tests it on a group of 10 ACIAR forestry projects from Vietnam.
-
Factors that contribute to the success of forestry research projects in Vietnam: This paper reports the results from the first case study of 10 completed ACIAR forestry projects from Vietnam. It looks at the relative success of the projects, identifies 22 factors that enhance or diminish success and then demonstrates the relationships between these factors and relative success in 3 projects.
-
Factors affecting the relative success of collaborative forestry research projects in Indonesia: The article presents the findings from the evaluation of the 10 ACIAR projects, plus the analysis of the interview data used to describe the factors that affect the success of the projects (30 factors identified). There is also some analysis of the apparent causal relationships between the identified success factors and the evaluated level of relative success of the projects.
-
Case study on factors affecting success of forestry projects in PNG: This article includes summarised information on the factors that affect project success, drawn from interviews with 33 ACIAR forestry project collaborators (21 in PNG and 12 in Australia).
