GENDER WORKING GROUP

Following the launch of Grow PNG Gender Mainstreaming and Empowerment Program in 2022, the Gender Working Group (GED) was established in August 2023. The working group comprises key partners and stakeholders such as farmers, landowners, agribusinesses, government and civil society groups, and those involved in the agri-food system. 

The GED Working Group serves as a forum for conversation and debate among relevant partners, regarding the challenges and concerns that affect women who depend on agriculture for a living. "Its objective is to identify challenges and opportunities, and to propose practical solutions that effectively champion the role of women in the agricultural food system, as well as other aspects of farmer livelihoods such as health, education, and poverty reduction."
