Political Economy Analysis of Papua New Guinea

Palladium

Bodhi was commissioned by Palladium to conduct a gender-sensitive political economy analysis of the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) governance framework in Papua New Guinea, both at the national and provincial levels. This analysis aimed to provide strategic insights for Palladium's programming by elucidating the gender dynamics and political-economic factors that shape the management of AFOLU resources within the country. Emphasising a gender-sensitive approach, the study focused on identifying the obstacles women encounter in consultation processes and their inclusion in decision-making related to forest governance, land use, and sustainability.
