The United Nations says Papua New Guinea's increased economic growth is not resulting in the expected rise in jobs and societal improvements.
The resident coordinator for PNG, Roy Trivedy says rural areas are not seeing better human development outcomes, despite 14 years of continued economic growth. He says one problem with employment levels is that rural people especially are not trained and don't have the skills needed for the jobs available. "How do we ensure that jobs are created, that we have a human resource base with the right skills to take up those jobs and so on. We definitely need more jobs, job creation and we need better training programmes, better apprenticeship programmes and so on throughout the country." Roy Trivedy says NGOs and other development partners need to work closely with governments in the countries at all levels, to coordinate their efforts better. RNZI
