The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Papua New Guinea (PNG) Lukautim Graun Project (LGP) is a five-year conservation initiative program based in Port Moresby. The LGP aims to promote conservation of PNG’s rich biodiversity and enhance the resilience of its people. The LGP will reduce significant threats to priority biodiversity hotspots in PNG by supporting communities to manage their customary lands and waters, working at all levels of government to develop the capacities needed to provide communities with the legal, technical, and financial resources required to achieve the sustainable management of their natural resources. The LGP is implemented together with the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity (W-GDP) Initiative under the Promoting Women’s Economic Empowerment Program (PWEEP). The W-GDP is a White House Initiative and is also funded by USAID and is blended with USAID LGP. The W-DGP Project aims to scale-up existing initiatives in gender programming to enable the LGP’s implementing partners to expand their activities to reach more women across the country. The blended program aims to address community-based natural resources management, institutional strengthening, community capacity building, development of sustainable livelihoods and the strengthening of communities through social inclusion, gender, and economic empowerment activities. The program seeks an Assistant Communications Officer to support the blended program in the target geography in the Bismarck Forest Corridor.
