The ITU-led program to establish Farmer Resource Centers is making remarkable progress in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. The project, which aims to set up a total of 10 resource centers, has already completed four at Brandi Secondary School (Wewak) and Wosera Secondary School (Wosera) in East Sepik, as well as at Don Bosco Technical Secondary School (Vanimo) and St. Ignatius Secondary School (Aitape) in West Sepik.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The objective of the program is to leverage digital technologies to facilitate enterprise development, enhance producer capacity, develop local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises capacity, and expand farmer clusters or collective marketing groups. These are linked to district community resource centers to improve market information and product quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The program utilizes a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) approach to ensure the enhanced sustainability of the resource centers. This is why specific public schools were identified under the program to host the resource centers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The project is implemented as part of the EU-STREIT PNG Programme in partnership with provincial governments, the National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA), and UN implementing partners in the Sepik region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
