HIGHLIGHTS: Civil Society Partnership Days - Papua New Guinea

The Papua New Guinea (PNG) Civil Society Partnership Days brought together the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Government of Papua New Guinea, and civil society organizations (CSOs) to strengthen collaboration through dialogue and training. Hosted for the first time by ADB in PNG, the event aligned with the ADB Civil Society Approach: An Operational Approach to Enhanced Engagement, 2025–2030 and the Strategy 2030 Midterm Review strategic focus area of resilience and empowerment. In his opening remarks, Said Zaidansyah, ADB Country Director for PNG, highlighted the crucial role of civil society in improving the effectiveness and sustainability of development outcomes. He noted that CSO engagement helps bring community voices into projects, strengthens accountability, and ensures that policies reflect the real needs of Papua New Guineans, especially in remote communities. Participants explored how CSOs contribute to service delivery, policy engagement, and advocacy in PNG, while also discussing ongoing challenges such as limited funding opportunities, capacity constraints, and coordination gaps. #adbandcivilsociety #papuanewguinea
