PNG: Devpolicy Blogs in 2018-19

By Devpolicy Blog Editor

August 2019

This fifth collection of Devpolicy Blog posts on Papua New Guinea brings together some of our most engaging writing from 2018 and 2019.

It has been a significant time for PNG, including the hosting of APEC in Port Moresby, and political change in 2019 with new Prime Minister James Marape taking power. Our blog continues to attract a strong amount of Papua New Guinea readers, particularly during news and political events, but also reflecting the interest in the wide variety of research, analysis and opinion we share throughout the year.

We’ve grouped this collection under six headings: the economy; policy challenges and opportunities; PNG and the region; politics and government; health and wellbeing; tackling family sexual violence.

There is a lot more on the blog that we were unable to include in this volume. All PNG posts can be found here.
