harnessing the entrepreneurial spirit.

development programs and activities.

To translate the gains from economic growth into higher living standards for all
Papua New Guineans.
4. Natural Endowments

sustainable primary production and downstream processing, with a focus on
agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism supported by mining, petroleum and
gas.
5. Competitive Advantage and the Global Market
To focus interventions on resources, products and commodities in which Papua
New Guinea enjoys a competitive advantage in global markets.
6. Integrating the Three Tiers of Government
To closely integrate the national, provincial and local level governments to
support the implementation of the MTDS.

sector, donors, churches and community-based organisations, to deliver the
MTDS.
8. Least Developed Areas Intervention

and provinces with a particular focus on the ‘poverty corridor’.
9. Empowering Papua New Guineans and Improving Skills
To help Papua New Guineans to help themselves through improving access to
basic health and education services, information, markets and appropriate
technology, with a special focus on the needs of those in the informal sector.
10. ‘Sweat Equity’ and Papua New Guinean Character
To encourage and assist Papua New Guineans to contribute to national
development by investing ‘sweat equity’, consistent with our noble virtues and
traditions.
