The Fruit of Her Labor

The overall goal of this report is to
assist the World Bank Group (WBG) to achieve greater impact
for women from its current activities in agribusiness in
Papua New Guinea (PNG), and to provide clear recommendations
on additional interventions aimed at improving outcomes for
women. The report focuses on the supply chains for coffee,
cocoa, and horticultural products (fresh produce), as there
is a wealth of knowledge on these supply chains and on
gender issues, and these provide the best opportunity to
identify entry points for follow-up activities. Given the
importance of smallholders in PNG, and the need to
understand gender dynamics in farming, this report pays
particular attention to the roles and constraints faced by
smallholders, without in so doing wishing to diminish the
importance of the roles played by other actors in these
supply chains.
