Leading the European Union-funded Programme for Support to Rural Entrepreneurship, Investment and Trade in Papua New Guinea (EU-STREIT PNG), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) focuses on promoting fair participation of women in all nodes along three targeted value chains of Cocoa, Vanilla and Fisheries under the Programme. In this respect, FAO supports the creation and enhancement of a gendersensitive enabling environment and works on empowering women to play an active role and benefit equally from agribusiness activities whilst preventing an increase of the burden of women compared to men in the Sepik Region.
