Papua New Guinea - UNESCO Country Programming Document, 2008-2013

The development of this document marks a new era in UNESCO’s work in the Pacific sub-region in that it is the first time that UNESCO has prepared a country programming document that attempts to bring together UNESCO’s support at the country level. The preparation of the UNESCO Country Programming Document for Papua New Guinea also intends to highlight not only the areas of UNESCO’s support in the past but also the areas where UNESCO intends to focus its support over its medium-term strategy, 2008 – 2013.

In line with the UN Country Programme, it is the intention that this programming document would represent UNESCO’s input towards the UN support towards Papua New Guinea and would ultimately become part of the UN Country Programme Document for the country. It is therefore seen as a rolling document, in line with the UN Country Programme Document for Papua New Guinea, that would be reviewed at the end of every biennium in an effort to make the document as well as UNESCO’ssupport relevant and in line with the changing country context.
