Where we work

IFPRI currently has more than 600 employees working in over 80 countries with a wide range of local, national, and international partners.

The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Papua New Guinea National Agriculture Research Institute (NARI) have teamed up to support data-driven policy dialogue and formulation. This project is designed to provide an in-depth agricultural strategy report to provide the foundation for informing key agricultural development challenges and opportunities in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Analysis for the report will draw from recent data collection efforts in PNG and utilize comparative analyses from other countries in the region to better evaluate the key factors of production to improve competitiveness within the country and inform investments and programs aimed to jumpstart the agricultural transformation process throughout all stages.
