Papua New Guinea (PNG) joined the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) in 2012, embarking on a partnership to foster sustainable and inclusive economic growth. GGGI's presence in PNG, established in 2018, supports the government's integration of climate-resilient green growth (CRGG) strategies and the execution of green growth projects through mobilization of climate finance and investments.
The GGGI PNG main office is embedded within the Climate Change Development Authority (CCDA), government of PNG, with presence in the Center of Excellence for Financial Inclusion at the Central Bank of Papua New Guinea, and at the sub-national level within Enga, New Ireland, and Milne Bay Provincial Government Administrations. GGGI PNG Program is scaling up its activities with the support from Australia, New Zealand, Green Climate Fund (GCF), USA, and France for inclusive green economic growth for PNG over the next five years with a target to mobilize USD 500 million in climate investments and scale up climate resilience and green growth planning at national and subnational levels.
GGGI PNG currently has seven national and five regional active projects. Among these, the "Promoting Electric Mobility in Papua New Guinea" project, funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), stands out as a pivotal initiative. This project is dedicated to addressing the multifaceted barriers that impede the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in PNG. By tackling issues related to coordination, expertise, planning, and public awareness, the project aims to foster a significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the promotion of EV mobility. This initiative supports PNG's ambitious goals to lower emissions, particularly within the transport sector. To further enhance the project's impact and ensure its success, we are seeking to appoint a dedicated Project Assistant. This role will be instrumental in supporting the project's objectives and facilitating the smooth execution of its activities.
The Project Assistant for the "Promoting Electric Mobility in Papua New Guinea" project is a key support role aimed at ensuring the smooth and effective execution of project activities. This individual will provide support in operational and administrative tasks, including but not limited to procurement processes, and the preparation of materials. Embedded within the Department of Transport (DoT) Office, the Project Assistant will also play a crucial role in data collection, support stakeholder engagement, and the organization of meetings and events.
