ABOUT WORLD VISION PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Established in 1950, World Vision (WV) is an international Christian relief, development and advocacy organization, dedicated to working with children, families and their communities to overcome poverty and injustice, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender.
World Vision Papua New Guinea (WVPNG) has been operating in Papua New Guinea (PNG) for over 40 years and is able to leverage the expertise of the global WV partnership to work with communities to overcome multi-faceted development challenges and deliver humanitarian assistance. WVPNG core programming covers the sectors of Education, Health, Livelihoods, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation, Social Cohesion and Peace building, with an annual grant portfolio of USD$50 million under support from a range of institutional, bilateral and multilateral donors. Relief support, preparedness and resilience building are also our core part of our work, including the covid-19 pandemic response.
Our programming focus is spread across 12 of PNG’s 22 provinces, with field offices and staff in the 6 Provinces of National Capital District, Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARoB), Morobe, Madang, Western and Southern Highlands Provinces; as well as through partners in another six provinces across the country.
WVPNG works to ensure our strategy and approaches are in line with the Government of PNG’s strategy and priorities, with geographical footprint being driven by our core values and commitment to the most vulnerable children and communities. We partner with communities, local civil society, private sector, non-government organizations, faith-based groups, and government of both national and local levels to deliver evidence based quality programs with a strong emphasis on community empowerment and local ownership.
At the core of our programming remains the most vulnerable and our commitment to every child which reinforces our unwavering support and determination to continue with our programs to help vulnerable communities and children therefore despite the challenges of 2021 and early 2022, our World Vision PNG programming never ceased and we continued to adjust and adapt to the changing COVID-19 landscape.
We believe that we were amongst the few development agencies that were truly blessed to be able to maintain a level of continuity in our programs to still reach the most vulnerable communities and children in PNG.
World Vision International’s global strategy – Our Promise – prioritizes partnership to increase impact. In line with this strategy, World Vision Papua New Guin- ea has decided to maintain, strengthen and have more meaningful partnership in the country to address the well-being of children, especially the most vulner- able.
We remain steadfast and committed to reaching more in our programming.
