Abt Global is seeking a highly qualified individual to fill the Research Facilitator role on the Australia – PNG Economic Partnership (APEP) Program. This role is based in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea and open to PNG Citizens ONLY.
About the Program
The Australia – Papua New Guinea Economic Partnership (APEP) is a multi-sectoral investment which commenced in April 2022 and runs through Feb 2028 with the possibility of a two-year extension. APEP is delivered as part of the broader Australia – Papua New Guinea (PNG) Partnership which brings strong alignment and integration with Government of PNG and Government of Australia (GoA) development priorities. APEP is also a primary vehicle and coordination point from which Australia delivers its economic development aid to PNG.
APEP works collaboratively with other Australian investments and development partners, to deliver impactful and sustainable development outcomes across four key engagement areas:
Gender equality, disability social inclusion (GEDSI) and women’s economic empowerment are central to APEP and integrated across all engagement areas and activities. Other cross-cutting themes are climate and ensuring the perspectives of First Nations Australians are embedded into APEP planning and implementation.
About the Opportunity
APEP’s Economic Research and Dialogue (ERD) Workstream supports improved evidence-based research and data to raise public dialogue and inform policymaking in PNG.
The Research Facilitator will work closely with APEP Workstreams to identify and develop research opportunities to inform policies and APEP investment designs that contribute to a resilient and diversified economy that provides a high quality of life for all Papua New Guineans.
The Research Facilitator will contribute to high-quality analytical and policy work across macroeconomic, fiscal, financial, and development issues such as agriculture and inclusive markets. The role involves coordinating external research as well as preparation of internal reports and policy notes.
Long-listed candidates will be asked to submit one or two writing samples demonstrating analytical and research capabilities.
