Enabling community forestry in Papua New Guinea
ACIAR Project FST/2016/153 aimed to improve rural livelihoods through family-focused community reforestation and agroforestry in PNG. This included the provision of recommendations to PNG Forest Authority for policy changes to facilitate improved application of community forestry. Field research was undertaken in Morobe and Eastern Highlands Provinces with the project’s outreach partners: Ramu Agri Industries and PNG Forest Authority (Eastern Highlands).
PIP led the dissemination of project information and resources via the PIP website and associated platforms.

Development of quality-of-governance standards for REDD in Papua New Guinea
ITTO Project PD682/13 aimed to develop a draft standard for evaluating the quality of governance of forest management and associated emissions reduction activities in Papua New Guinea. The voluntary standard was accompanied by a set of governance resources and journal papers developed by project partners in Australia and Papua New Guinea.
PIP engaged stakeholders during the drafting process through online surveys, face-to-face meeings, multi-stakeholder workshops and field-testing at project sites.
