LAND RESOURCE & POPULATION
• Land Area totaling 460,000 sq. km.• Land area under agriculture 170,000 sq. km• A population of 6 million people• A rural population of 4 million people• A rural population density on total land area
of 12 persons/ sq. km• Population density on land use for
agriculture would be 45 persons/ sq. km.

Bad roads discourage rural communities from working and living on their land

It is 2011, and some rural communities have not changed their means of transport

• 1950s - FURTHER LAND ALIENATION, AND INTENSIFICATION OF VILLAGE AGRICULTURE
• 1960s – CLEAR DICHOTOMY BETWEEN SMALL AND LARGE HOLDINGS
• 1970s – LAND RESETTLEMENT SCHEMES (OIL PALM, RUBBER, COCOA, LIVESTOCK
• 1975 – INDEPENDENCE & DECENTRALISATION OF THE EXTENSION FUNCTION
• 1990 – CORPORATISATION OF COMMODITIES
HISTORY OF PNG AGRICULTURE
![Page 14: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• GIVE PEOPLE DECISION-MAKING POWERS AS INTEGRAL PARTOF DECOLONIZATION
• CREATE INSTUTIONS THAT INCREASE POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF PEOPLE & ACCOMMODATE REGIONAL& PROVINCIAL DIVERSITIES
• IMPROVE DECISION-MAKING & RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN RESPONSE TO LOCAL NEEDS & PRIORITIES
• ENSURE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES ARE APPRORIATE TO LOCAL CONDITIONS, NEEDS, PRIORITIES & ASPIRATIONS.
WHY DECENTRALISATION?
![Page 15: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• TO GRANT INDUSTRIES INDEPENDENCE
• TO ALLOW INDUSTRIES TO BECOME SELF-SUSTAINING
• FREEDOM FROM POLITICAL INTERFERENCE
• ENCOURAGE GREATER PARTICIPATION IN THE INDUSTRY BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR
• HAVE THE ABILITY TO RECRUIT HIGH CALIBRE STAFF
WHY CORPORATIZATION?
![Page 16: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• THERE 19 PROVINCIAL EXTENSION DIVISIONS• PROVINCIAL EXTENSION IS WEAK AND
UNDERESOURCED.
• CAPACITY FOR SERVICE DELIVERY HIGHLY ERODED
• CURRENT STAFF ARE DEFICIENT IN LATEST SKILLS AND RELEVANT INFORMATION
• THERE IS LIMITED MOTIVATION TO EXCEL
IMPACT OF DECENTRALISATION ON EXTENSION
![Page 17: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• A HIGHLY FRAGMENTED SECTOR WITH A WEAK LEAD AGENCY
• SERVICE DELIVERY BY COMMODITY BOARDS WERE GOOD BUTCURTAILED IN SOME AREAS AS MOUs FAIL
• SOME COMMODITY BOARDS CANNOT FUND PROGRAMS WITHOUT CENTRAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
• THERE IS EVIDENCE OF WEAK INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY & GOVERNANCE
IMPACT OF CORPORATISATION ON EXTENSION

EXTENSION MODELS OVER 30 YRS

NEXT GENERATION PNG FARMER

SO WHERE TO FROM HERE??(1)• There should be a comprehensive review of the
policies and legislations that govern the manner in which agricultural extension services are managed and provided nationally.
• This will address the defects of the dual policies of decentralization and corporatization. In the past, institutional changes and improvements were largely focused on major export crops, and relatively less importance was accorded to smallholder food crops and livestock, despite successive statements by the government espousing broad-based and balanced development of the agriculture sector.
![Page 33: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
SO WHERE TO FROM HERE??(2)
• The reform process should determine clearly the roles and responsibilities of the lead agency in agriculture, and that of all participating agencies at the national, provincial, and local level. This will ensure that acceptable guidelines are put in place for the operational and technical linkages among the diverse set of institutions, the mechanism(s) for their cooperation and coordination, and priorities for their funding.
![Page 34: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
SO WHERE TO FROM HERE?? (3)
• The reformed lead agency of the sector should be a lean, vibrant, responsive and a progressive organization. It is a policy setter, and a facilitator of financial and technical support to all implementing agencies, who are bound by sound business principles and good governance. The lead agency shall also ensure that information on the status of extension and advisory services in PNG is kept updated for future planning purposes.
![Page 35: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
SO WHERE TO FROM HERE??(4)
• The status and roles of NARS in the development of technologies, and the delivery of agricultural innovations should be reviewed, with the view of consolidation and streamlining of roles, programs, and activities. The current effort in formalizing a national NARS policy forum is a start in this direction.
![Page 36: CTA case studies on the status of extension and advisory: Papua New Guinea](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081413/54824840b4af9faa0d8b4733/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
SO WHERE TO FROM HERE?? (5)
• There should be a concerted effort by the Government and authorities to strengthen the private sector interests and formalize their participation in the delivery of agricultural services. Presently many private service providers operate either as individuals or as members of informal groupings. The government support should include financing of their network, formal registration, training and mentoring, and regular monitoring of performances.
