Project or context description
The European Union-funded Forestry-Climate Change-Biodiversity (EU-FCCB) Programme for Papua New Guinea is an international cooperation programme funded by the European Union whose general objective (GO) is “to support a development model that reconciles forestry, climate change and biodiversity with sustainable, inclusive and gender-responsive green growth and jobs at national and pilot subnational/community levels”. Its three specific objectives (SOs) are:
- SO1: “Effective implementation of evidence-based FCCB policies, governance and institutional frameworks”
- SO2: “Improved FCCB awareness, knowledge, capacities and mobilisation”
- SO3: “Increased inclusive and gender-responsive green growth”
This Programme consists several components, including a significant component implemented by Expertise France regarding “support at the national/institutional level with spill-over effects at the local/community level” (the Project). This project inclues for a number of PNG-based public sector institutions operating in the FCCB intervention area, support for PNG-based research, education and awareness institutions and support for PNG-based communities, civil society organisations and private sector organisations engaged in conservation, sustainable livelihoods, and sustainable value chain development.
The Project will require a Time Extension which is why a Time Extension proposal is required.
