Description du projet ou contexte
Expertise France, an entity of the French Development Agency (Agence Française de Développement, AFD) Group, is the French government’s international technical cooperation agency. Its role is to design and manage donor-funded international cooperation projects in fields such as governance, security, health, education and the environment. The European Union (EU) and the French Government constitute Expertise France’s main donors.
The European Union-funded Forestry-Climate Change-Biodiversity (EU-FCCB) Programme for Papua New Guinea aims “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”
With approved funding in the amount of 54.7 million euros, it is one of the EU’s most ambitious forest-related programmes anywhere in the world.
More information about the EU-FCCB programme is available at the following link: https://vimeo.com/880344258/4971f290c1?share=copy
The EU-FCCB Programme consists of several components, including the national component (33.5 million euros) implemented by Expertise France. This project will entail support for a number of PNG-based public sector institutions operating in the FCCB intervention area, support for PNG-based research, education and awareness institutions as well as support for PNG-based communities engaged in conservation and sustainable livelihoods and green SMEs.
This project started in July 2023 and went through an inception phase (July 2023 to February 2024), to help calibrate the project’s intervention strategy and to undertake the detailed design of the project’s activities, in partnership with the project’s stakeholders.
Communications & knowledge management will be a key aspect of the project. In particular, the project will involve:
- Increasing the public availability of relevant digitized and disaggregated data and information for FCCB sectors
- Supporting the development / revision of communication and knowledge management strategies within supported government organisations, as well as their websites
- Supporting the development of the PNG Environmental Alliance’s communication and knowledge management strategy, as well as its website

- Supporting youth champions advocating FCCB at national, regional and international events
- Supporting youth leadership and mentorship programs related to FCCB
- Supporting the organisation of PNG Youth Parliament sessions on FCCB
- Supporting training and certification of journalists to effectively report and communicate on FCCB issues
- Developing and disseminating knowledge and communication products for awareness raising and knowledge transfer in communities
