Official document
Certificate of Incorporation
Issued by the Independent State of Papua New Guinea under the Associations Incorporation Act — Registrar of Companies.
Vision
Growth, wellbeing and living forests advancing together
A Papua New Guinea where the integrity of forests, reefs and rivers advances with economic opportunity — and where green-economy benefits reach customary landowners and rural households.
Mission
Capability, pipeline, workforce, institutions
We build the technical capability, project pipeline, workforce and community institutions so Papua New Guinea can attract, absorb and account for green and climate finance at scale.
How our pillars deliverOur values
Six commitments that shape every decision
From landowner primacy to technical honesty — these principles keep benefit, integrity and local leadership at the centre.
Technical honesty
We tell the truth about risks, readiness and what finance can and cannot deliver.
No leakage
Value stays with communities and PNG institutions — not siphoned through opaque chains.
Inclusion by design
Gender equality, disability inclusion and youth participation are built into programmes.
Local first
PNG nationals lead; international expertise arrives with counterparts and handover plans.
Independence
Non-partisan, non-denominational and free to decline work that fails FPIC or integrity tests.
Thematic mandate
Where we work
Climate change, environment and waste, renewable energy, SDGs, agriculture, green growth and investment, skills and manpower, carbon markets, and social development.
How we deliver
Our operating cycle: Engage → Assess → Co-design → Finance → Deliver → Sustain → Learn.
Headquarters in Port Moresby, with progressive provincial presence across Momase, Highlands, Islands and Southern regions — and local district facilitators close to communities.
