Supporting rural and agripreneur women to get access to finance and banking products and services in Papua New Guinea

EU-STREIT PNG Programme in Papua New Guinea, in collaboration with partners, reached more than 5000 farmers, including 3000 young girls and women from 40 remote villages to mainstream gender and youth inclusion into the agri-food value chain.

To improve access to financial services to rural areas, the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), under EU-STREIT PNG Programme and in partnership with three local financial institutions, has rolled out an “access to finance” and financial literacy initiative. Through this initiative, more than 13,000 women in the Greater Sepik region have been connected to the formal financial system in the first four months of 2022.
