  1. Youth Employment, Self Employment, and Sustainable Development in the Pacific and Timor Leste: How can Demand-Driven Training Respond [considering gender issues]? The Papua New Guinea Perspective 29th September 2011

  2. PNG Youth stats in Brief “Empowering and skilling the youths to have the ability to generate income”

  3. Development Challenge How can the youths (especially young girls/ women) be empowered to fully participate in and/or create income earning opportunities for themselves/families? Strategies: • Awareness • Targeted skills & knowledge based training • Access to credit facilities & marketing options

  4. Development Challenge Alignment of sector/provincial plans/Donor Country Strategies to PNGDSP & MTDP Deliverables/Targets PM&NEC DNPM with Sectors, Provinces & relevant stakeholders Provinces with stakeholders Districts with stakeholders

  5. Development Challenge • PNG government taking ownership by integrating youth/gender issues into policies/plans at various levels; • Integrated youth/gender issues institutionalized through the PFD; • Budget allocations determined by aligned programs/projects to achieve set targets and deliverables: However, due to limited available financial resources, implementation is phased

  6. Possible Funding Sources • Operational Budget (Recurrent Budget) • Prgram/Project Funding (Development Budget) • Internal Revenue • Donor Funding • Grants from National Government and other partners

  7. Alternate Options • There is still gender bias on the ground where girls still miss out/are pushed out: • Formal Education (quotas) • Technical & vocational education (quotas) • For those that are outside the classrooms, alternate options exist to accommodate their needs. Eg: Personal Viability Programs; Youth Friendly Centres; Trade Skills Program (purely demand-driven); Private Schools; provinces also building capacity of TVET institutions;

  8. Way Forward • Emphasize need for policy alignment which drives budget allocation; • Continue the Trade Skills Program; • Fast-track endorsement/implementation of PICs Trade Agreement; • Strengthen/build capacity of TVET institutions; • Support TVET institutions that are run by FBOs; and • DNPM continue to play a coordinating role

  9. Thank you
