Papua New Guinea Vision 2050, 2009

Papua New Guinea (PNG) Vision 2050 is anchored by seven Strategic Focus Areas or pillars, namely, human capital development, gender, youth and people empowerment; wealth creation; institutional development and service delivery; security and international relations; environmental sustainability and climate change; spiritual, cultural and community development; and strategic planning, integration and control. PNG Vision 2050 pushes for utilizing the country's natural resources (i.e., land, cash crops, forests and fisheries) to improve its socioeconomic development status. It also underscores that several areas can contribute to economic growth and improvement of living standards, including human capital development, improved infrastructure networks and an efficient service delivery mechanism for goods and services. PNG Vision 2050 will focus on seven key outcomes, specifically changing and rehabilitating the mind-set of its people, having strong political leadership and will power; improvement in governance, improvement in service delivery, improvement in law and order; development of strong moral obligation, and rapid growth potential which can be realized in a reasonable time.
