Civil Society Briefs: Papua New Guinea
Asian Development Bank | August 2015
Abstract
Civil society is an important stakeholder in the operations of the Asian Development Bank and its borrowers and clients. It is
distinct from the government and the private sector and consists of a diverse range of individuals, groups, and nonprofit organizations.
This brief talks about the development of civil society in Papua New Guinea, which has been influenced by the roles of the churches and traditional
social structure. Civil society in Papua New Guinea is relatively small and
heterogeneous. In recent years, some civil society organizations, both local and international, have cooperated on
environmental and political issues.
