Ensure that by 2025 the Government of PNG has a functioning GBV governance and institutional structure supporting the achievement of zero tolerance towards GBV, aligned with the PNG Development Plan, Papua New Guinea Vision 2050, and with the Sustainable Development Goals 2016-2030Standardize and institutionalize data collection and facilitate ongoing in-depth research to support evidence-based planning, budgeting and programming to end gender-based violence and contribute to national and international reporting commitments.Ensure quality, continuity and sustainability of coordinated responses, referrals and service delivery for survivors of gender-based violence.Scale-up, decentralize, and standardize inclusive, quality initiatives and messaging for prevention of gender-based violence at all levels and in all sectors of society to influence behavioural change required to achieve zero tolerance towards GBV.
Understanding Gender-Based Violence to Secure Sustainable Development in Papua New Guinea
The PNG Painim Aut Report produced by the United Nations Development Program under the leadership and direction of the Papua New Guinean Department for Community Development and Religion and Australian Government provides easily accessible data for the diverse range of stakeholders who have a role to play in preventing and responding to Gender Based Violence (GBV) in PNG. This includes government, civil society, the private sector and international organisations. The report also provides valuable information in support of the rollout of the National GBV Strategy (Mark can you please highlight a link to this elsewhere in the resource section) by the Government of Papua New Guinea. At the same time information presented in the report can provide the baseline against which to measure progress in implementing this National GBV Strategy.
The Report covers the prevalence of GBV globally and regionally and its complex causes as well as a summary of prevention programs. It also provides an analysis of GBV in Papua New Guinea, the key challenges in addressing it and the way forward in the context of the country’s National GBV Strategy and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
