Background

On the ground in 177 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.

I. Organizational Context
One of the CO programmes is the People-centred Development Programme (PCDP) that has been supporting local government institutions, civil society organizations and communities in the Papua region in their efforts to improve human development and to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The PCDP will continue to provide technical assistance to the local government and civil society to formulate, coordinate and implement appropriate, specific local development programmes in the targeted districts of Papua and West-Papua. The Programme will put more emphasis on improving the economic welfare of communities, in particular of indigenous Papuans, starting with a few concrete pilots to ensure that the results of programme interventions make an impact on the lives of communities and government’s efforts to reduce poverty, focusing on: 1) support at provincial and district levels in developing policies and programmes that are pro-poor, MDG-oriented, gender sensitive and OTSUS-based, building on a comprehensive assessment of the current socio-economic situation of the region with enhanced support to and stronger focus on district level governments; 2) empowering local communities to develop and implement programmes in the areas of health and education, in partnership with CSOs and local government; 3) improving the economic welfare of local communities, especially indigenous Papuans; and 4) facilitating linkages, cooperation and communication for a coordinated delivery of development assistance between and within the local Government and central government and with civil society and development agencies.
