Assist the PNG Forest Certification Incorporated to revise PNG’s national high conservation value toolkit. At present, the HCV toolkit only applies to logging companies. By revising the toolkit, it will better serve and assist all private companies and natural resources sectors in PNG, in order to promote sustainable development through the integration of better environmental and social practices. The project will involve bringing together a wide range of stakeholders (virtually and in person) to revise the drafts, and will also support the printing and launch of the new toolkit.
