Papua New Guinea went to the polls in June–July 2017 for its ninth general election since independence. Despite a record number of women standing – around five per cent of the total number of candidates – no women were elected in any of the 111 seats.

This report draws on discussions from a debrief in Port Moresby in September 2017 with 26 women who contested the election. Participants had contested in all four regions of Papua New Guinea.

The report highlights some of the key themes that arose from these discussions, including:

Violence against children and women is a problem in many parts of Papua New Guinea. Parenting programs have shown promise in preventing violence and neglect of children, as well as improving child health and educational outcomes in high-income countries. However, there are very few parenting programs that are culturally appropriate, evidence-based and affordable for low and middle-income countries such as Papua New Guinea.

The ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) Version 3 (ASTGTM) provides a global digital elevation model (DEM) of land areas on Earth at a spatial resolution of 1 arc second (approximately 30 meter horizontal posting at the equator).

The development of the ASTER GDEM data products is a collaborative effort between National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI). The ASTER GDEM data products are created by the Sensor Information Laboratory Corporation (SILC) in Tokyo.

The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global database of marine and terrestrial protected areas, updated on a monthly basis, and is one of the key global biodiversity data sets being widely used by scientists, businesses, governments, International secretariats and others to inform planning, policy decisions and management. The WDPA is a joint project between UN Environment and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
