It is estimated that PNG has more than 2.5 million small coffee growers However, small grower coffee sales have been declining since 1998. This research examined the importance of cash flow (liquidity) problems relative to other constraints confronting small coffee farmers in the Highlands region, which accounts for more than 90 per cent of PNG‟s coffee production.

  • Assessing the Effectiveness of Climate Change Programmes and Project Implementation in Papua New Guinea
    Assessing the effectiveness of climate change programmes and project implementation in Papua New Guinea A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geography at the University of Canterbury by Peter Konam Bosip Department of Geography 2012 Abstract Papua New Guinea has faced a challenge to subsistence livelihoods caused by the rapidly changing climate since the early 1990s. In response to the challenges, PNG has adopted and promoted the adaptation concept since 2007. The adaptation initiatives have taken place at various levels, by a number of responsible groups and institutions: state institutions have targeted policy development while the local communities have initiated projects to overcome the changing environment. Since the programmes and projects happen at various levels, this study aims to assess and gain insights into the experiences of those stakeholders who are directly involved in implementation, to see whether community projects complement or challenge government programmes. A case study approach to data gathering was employed to gain qualitative insights into the challenges and opportunities experienced. In-depth interviews, general observations, and online questionnaires were employed for primary data collection. Data collected were analysed to identify the common issues experienced. The study found that community initiated projects do not intuitively correlate with government established programmes. There is no clear mechanism established between government and communities to work in partnership to address climate change impacts at the community level. Communities initiate and implement projects based on their own local knowledge and circumstances. To encourage and enable communities to achieve the maximum expected outcome, state institutions and other stakeholders would need to support and build skills and technical capacity.

    Mobile phones and the promises of connectivity: Interrogating the Role of Information, Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Marketisation Asha Susan Titus A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2019 1 I hereby declare that this thesis is the result of my own investigation, and where I have drawn on the work of others, due acknowledgement has been made. The text is no longer than 60,000 words. Asha Titus 2 Mobile phones and the promises of connectivity: Interrogating the Role of Information, Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Marketisation Abstract This research investigates the role of ICTs (mobile phones) in economic development particularly in the Papua New Guinean coffee and fresh produce value chains. It aims to interrogate the promises and unwavering optimism attached to the ‘ICT revolution’ by examining the effects of ICTs on economic practices and the extent to which communication and network integration will be a driver of development. Following the deregulation of the telecommunications sector in 2007, considerable attention has been paid to the digital transformation in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands and the unprecedented growth of mobile phone and social media use. PNG’s mobile phone penetration has increased exponentially from approximately 2% to over 48.6% in just over ten years (from 2005 to 2016 - World Bank 2017). Media commentators have noted with delight that there are now more Pacific Islanders with mobile phones than bank accounts and that in PNG alone, internet access from mobile phones is forecast to increase to about 50 per cent of the population in the near future (UNESCAP 2006, Beschorner 2008, SPC 2012).
