Community Livelihoods And Civil Society Organisations In - UNDP

1.2 Overview of the NGOs and study areas
The NGOs that undertook the Community Needs and CSO studies were selected
through an open tender process that was established after consulting with different civil
society organisations and government agencies in Papua. The studies were undertaken
by well-known, Papua-based (and non-international) NGO’s experienced in
assessments with both communities and civil society representatives in selected districts
and kabupaten. All had some experience in the areas of governance, poverty
reduction/human security strategies, environment and community-based natural
resource management. The NGOs delineated their study areas according to their
geographic and cultural knowledge, and considering the need to present realities from a
cross-section of the diverse sub-regions of Papua.
The NGOs and their study areas are shown with village population figures in Table 1.
Figure 1 presents a general map of the locations where the assessments were
conducted.
