Authors : Prabhakar Akhilesh Chandra . Rodney Pexcy . Ambelye John .

Abstract

Papua New Guinea (PNG) stands as a nation abounding in natural resources, yet paradoxically contends with pervasive poverty, notably in locales such as the Highlands, replete with abundant natural endowments. This abstract presents an intricate case study delving into the conundrum of destitution amidst opulence within the Highlands realm of PNG. Employing a multifaceted methodology encompassing qualitative interviews, secondary data scrutiny from various sources, and comprehensive literature synthesis, this inquiry scrutinizes the socio-economic determinants underpinning the enduring poverty prevalent in the area. It delves into the historical, political, and environmental milieus that mould the fabric of poverty dynamics, encapsulating facets of land tenure, resource exploitation, governance paradigms, and socio-economic disparities. Additionally, this research probes into the ramifications of developmental interventions and policies on the initiatives aimed at assuaging poverty within the region. Unveiling intricate interplays between Indigenous traditions, national governance frameworks, and global economic imperatives, the findings underscore the perpetuation of poverty notwithstanding the plenitude of natural assets. The abstract culminates by accentuating the ramifications for policy formulation and developmental strategies intended to confront poverty in regions endowed with resources, accentuating the imperatives of inclusive governance, sustainable resource stewardship, and grassroots-driven endeavours to engender equitable progress in Papua New Guinea.
