Over the past 10 years, we have grown into Fiji’s leading events and wedding company, specialising in all aspects of event styling and management. We have INVESTIGATING DISTRICT-LEVEL MEASURES OF WELL-BEING IN PNG In two recent discussion papers, we have tried to assess the relative significance of a number of factors that might help to explain the differences in two measures of human well-being between the 85 partially rural districts of Papua New Guinea (PNG).Both of these measures are derived from the 2000 national census. The first is the child mortality rate, which is taken as a proxy for a WE NEED ARRESTS: TESTIMONY TO THE PNG PARLIAMENTARY This is the edited testimony of Ms Denga Ilave, Lae Operations Director for Femili PNG, delivered on Monday 24 May to PNG’s Special Parliamentary Committee on Gender-Based Violence. Firstly, I’d like to thank the committee members. It’s been so long that we’ve worked in this space. CRIME IN PORT MORESBY: EXPERIENCES OF A FOREIGNER Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea’s capital, has a reputation for crime and violence.

When China, under a centrally planned system, was among one of the poorest countries in the world, its achievements for women in human development outcome indicators and gender equality surpassed many middle-income countries. A POLICY TO BOOST PNG’S RURAL ECONOMY Agriculture is vital to the Papua New Guinea (PNG) economy. Agriculture provides 22% of PNG’s GDP, accounts for 11% of its exports and supports over 80% of the population. When inflows from the resource sector weaken it is time for the agriculture sector to strengthen.
