Info

For each of the MDGs, specific targets have been tailored or customized to match Papua New Guinea’s context and realities. These are reflected in the MTDS 2005- 2010. 2.2.7 The National Constitution Gender equality is enshrined in the National Constitution. The Constitution forms a sound basis in which planning for women must be addressed. It specifically calls for “Integral Human Development” and “Equality and Participation” which states that: “We declare our first goal to be for every person to be dynamically involved in the process of freeing herself/himself from every form of dominion or oppression so that man or woman will have the opportunity to develop as a whole person with others”. Under this goal, the Constitution calls for: “Everyone to be involved in our endeavors to achieve integral human development of the whole person and to seek fulfillment through his or her contribution to the common good”. “We declare our second goal to be for all citizens to have an equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from the development of our country” Under this goal, the Constitution calls for: “Equal participation by women citizens in all political, economic, social and religious activities” It is recognized that every person has a right to develop their full potential. Thus, the fact that women constitute approximately 50% of the nation’s population provides the basis for women to be involved in all aspects of social, economic and political or decision-making process in PNG. 2.2.8 The National Goals and Directive Principles Any development effort within PNG should be in accordance with the National Goals and Directive Principles. These principles are: 1. Integral Human Development 2. Equality and Participation 3. National Sovereignty and Self- Reliance 4. Natural Resources and Environment and 5. Papua New Guinea Ways. 2.2.9 The National Women’s Policy The PNG National Women’s Policy is an extension of PNG’s Constitution. The eight aims of the Constitution are the cornerstones of the Policy. They call for equal unlimited participation of women in the political, economic, cultural and social life of Papua New Guinea. This policy is the blueprint for women as it provides the platform for planning. 6
The National Women’s Policy was developed as a contribution towards realizing the specific goals of “Integral Human Development” and “Equality and Participation” as stated in the Constitution. The policy sets out the basic parameters in which sectoral agencies are to integrate women’s development concerns into their policies, plans and programs to ensure mainstreaming occurs within government. Thus, the approach is intended to promote both the interest of women as individuals as well as the economic and social development of PNG. 2.2.10 The National Platform for Action, 1995-2005 The National Platform for Action (NPA) reaffirms the National Constitution, particularly strengthening the goals of “Integral Human Development” and “Equality and Participation” and the seventh aim of the Government’s Eight Point Development Plan, which calls for a “rapid increase in the equal and active participation of women in all forms of economic and social activities”. The NPA identifies ten (10) critical areas of concern, which are not exclusive to women but affect community as a whole. These are: 1. Health 2. Education, Training and Literacy 3. Mechanisms and Shared Decision Making 4. Economic Empowerment, Employment Opportunities and Conditions 5. Legal and Human Rights (Violence, Peace and National Unity) 6. Culture and the Family (Young Women and Girls, Special Groups of Women 7. Transport, Shelter, Water and Communication 8. Agriculture and Fisheries (Resources and Foreign Investment Affecting Women) 9. Environment and Development 10 Sustainable Development and Poverty The above ten (10) critical issues of concern have clear links with the Beijing Platform for Action, the Commonwealth Plan of Action for Gender and Equality 2005-2015 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The NPA acknowledges and recognizes that partnership is the key to achieving sustainable development, national unity and peace. Thus, partnership between the three levels of Government, NGO’s, Churches, private sector and donors, and partnership between men and women is critical. The overall message of the NPA is that national and local plans and programs are needed to promote sustainable development, with greater participation by women and, in which women’s concerns are given higher priority. 2.2.11 The Medium Term Development Strategy (MTDS) 2005-2010 The overarching development strategy - Medium Term Development Strategy 2005- 2010 - is defined as export driven economic growth, rural development and poverty reduction, including through good governance and promotion of agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism on a sustainable basis. The strategy will be realized by empowering Papua New Guineans, especially those living in rural areas, to mobilize their own resources for higher living standards. 7
