  2. The Challenge Fund ActivityAssessment of PNG Women in Mining (WIM) • Main objectives: East Asia Regional Gender Coordinator to undertake an assessment of the WIM work to see how well it fits with other gender work in the East Asia Region and, based on the achievements of the WIM work in PNG, to provide her inputs to the COCPO team in preparing a guidance note on gender and the extractive industries for possible use in the Region/SDN Network. • Achievements of the WIM activities: • WIM activities built networks of key women at national level and linked them to women’s groups at local level • WIM activities helped build capacity of local women’s associations, and build relationships with local leaders and local governments • WIM activities helped private sector to target their available staff and financial resources more effectively • The WIM Action Plan 2007 – 2010 provides a good basis for targeting of additional public, donor, and private sector resources to improve economic and social outcomes for women and families in mining areas.

  3. The Challenge Fund Activity Assessment of PNG Women in Mining (WIM) • Conclusions: A WIM initiative is • Good for Women: by catalyzing their participation in decision-making, so that their needs and priorities can be identified and addressed; • Good for Business: by increasing the effectiveness and equitability of investments in compensation and community development activities, helping to mitigate negative impacts, and improving sustainability of positive impacts. • Good for Development: by providing a good basis for improved participation in planning and better local governance, which can be built on for post-mine sustainable development, and for broader and more equitable long term sharing of local and national revenues from mineral resources.

  4. 3. Incubation of new ideas for greater synergies • Lessons learnt from the PNG WIM could be applied in other infrastructure sectors not only oil and gas and logging but also power generation, transport, water supply • This could be done by • (i) preparing an analysis of the positive and negative impacts of the project on women; and • (ii) engaging with local women’s groups to build their capacity to engage with government and investors to improve the gender impacts of proposed projects and investments;

  5. 4. Deepening cross-sectoral linkages • Areas of potential cross-sectoral collaborations : • CDD: partnership between COCPO and SDV/RD • Local governance: partnership between COCPO and SDV/PR • Management of revenues from mineral resources – Governance issues: partnership between COCPO and PRM • Gender equality policies: partnership between COCPO, SDV and PRMGE

  6. 5. Encouraging integration across our global programs and partnerships • Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP): has funded early COCPO work on gender which formed the basis of further work in PNG and other countries. • Gender Action Plan (GAP): Making markets work for women and helping women access markets • Communities and Small-scale Mining (CASM): equal access to development opportunities for women working in artisanal and small scale mining • Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI): ensuring that women’s groups are among the civil society stakeholder groups.

  7. 6. What are the lessons learnt, best practices and areas for improved collaboration? • Lessons learnt: • Formalize cross-sectoral relationships to ensure consistent collaboration • Foster discussion opportunities to enhance knowledge-sharing and the understanding of different, yet complementary, perspectives • Pool resources to be more cost-efficient • Best practice: • Early collaboration has institutionalized linkages through the project cycle. This ensures that development challenges are addressed comprehensively, taking into account different dimensions of economic growth and poverty reduction.

  8. 7. What are the areas for improved collaboration – specific opportunities in PNG? • Undertake broader gender initiatives in PNG based on the WIM work including possibilities for mainstreaming gender with ongoing CDD work including CDD stocktaking ESW with cross support from COCPO • Provide further support and capacity building in the new PNG Mining TA project including cross-support from Social Development for: • National Women’s networks which are still fragile • Local women’s capacity which is still weak • Establishing a more formal institutional home for long term support
