The Wati Kui Legacy

Global data indicates that elevating the role of women can help 235 million people better handle climate-driven challenges and PNG can use this data to better prepare our own provinces. From the coastlines to the highlands, our mothers and sisters are the first to face the consequences of changing weather patterns on their gardens. Placing more resources directly into their hands is the most effective way to keep every village across the country stable and fed.

📢 Mark the date, this one earns your attention.

@‌FAO is hosting a webinar to introduce its new report, “Food safety implications of recycled plastics and alternative food contact materials (FCMs)” and it goes straight to the realities behind how food is packaged today.

Expect a discussion with food safety experts and industry voices on the risks, the standards, and what must be addressed when recycled and alternative materials come into contact with food.

For Papua New Guinea, this is an opportunity to build a stronger understanding of safer packaging practices that protect consumers, support local businesses, and keep pace with global expectations. In a market where packaging is often treated as an afterthought, that kind of awareness carries real value.

Women farmers are the engine of our local food systems, from the gardens to the markets. While they sustain families and strengthen global agrifood systems, PNG can use this data to support our own rural producers. Recognizing the hard work of our mothers and sisters in the provinces is essential for the economic health of every community across the country.

On , FAO PNG acknowledges the European Union’s continued support for agriculture and rural development in Papua New Guinea, including work in cocoa, vanilla, and fisheries value chains.

Support from the European Union in Papua New Guinea has helped to:

▶️ Provide technical training and market access opportunities for women and youth.
▶️ Support government-led policies and programmes for rural development.
▶️ Promote farming practices that help protect the environment while improving production.

These efforts are helping thousands of households strengthen their livelihoods and food production.

Stay tuned throughout the week as we share more stories from this partnership.

The numbers might surprise you! Tuna is a major part of global trade and an important source of protein for families around the world.

Take a look at the facts in our “Did You Know?” graphic below 👇

Happy World Tuna Day! 🐟

Financial independence is a vital tool for women working across our local food systems. While the global data shows women make up 38% of the agrifood workforce, they often receive only 82 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts and PNG is no different. Providing our mothers and daughters in the village equal access to kina and toea through formal banking strengthens the economic foundation of our entire country.

that some diseases can be shared between animals and people?

These are called zoonotic diseases. In PNG, because it is not uncommon for us to live so closely with our livestock and wildlife, especially in the villages, it is important to practice good hygiene and keep our animals healthy to protect our families. When our animals are safe, our communities are safe too! 🐖🐓👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

📢 There’s a seat at the table, pull it up.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is rolling out a timely webinar to launch its new report, “Food safety implications of recycled plastics and alternative food contact materials (FCMs)” and this one has real world value written all over it.

Food safety experts and industry players will unpack what happens when recycled and alternative materials meet the food we eat. The conversation goes straight to the heart of packaging risks, safety standards, and what needs tightening as the world moves toward more sustainable materials.

Now here’s the kicker for Papua New Guinea, join in and you will walk away with a clear understanding of safer food packaging, knowledge that can help protect consumers, strengthen local food businesses, and sharpen compliance with emerging global standards. In a market where packaging is often overlooked, that is not a small success, but rather a competitive edge.

Safety first at the Central Government Building! 🏢

It was a sight to see everyone from top executives to subordinates in high-vis vests today during the fire drill in Waigani. Great job to the Papua New Guinea Fire Service and all the "Floor Wardens" and "First Aiders" who managed a smooth and successful evacuation!
