Priorities

ACIAR has a formal program of consultations with PNG to establish priorities in research collaboration, as well as annual smaller consultations and industry workshops to finetune these priorities. A record of the most recent set of formal consultations, held in May 2008, is available at http://www.aciar.gov.au/node/8982 [15]. The ACIAR PNG portfolio emphasises the disciplines of agricultural systems (including postharvest activities), production and protection of root, horticultural and tree crops, fisheries and forestry. Training priorities are mainly addressed through targeted activities within projects, although support for postgraduate degrees in Australia and an in-country scholarship scheme at the University of Technology, Lae, are the main contributors to capacity development. The priorities are grouped under the following thematic programs.

Subprogram 1: Addressing social, cultural and policy constraints to the adoption of agricultural technologies [16]

Subprogram 2: Enhancement of smallholder incomes from horticulture and root crops [17]

Subprogram 3: Improving smallholder returns from export tree crop production and marketing [18]

Subprogram 4: New livelihoods from smallholder fisheries, aquaculture and forestry [19]

Subprogram 5: Agricultural biosecurity and sustainable management of forestry and fisheries resources [20]
