Strategic directions for the Papua New Guinea Cooperative Extension System inthe New Millennium.

Abstract

Recent legislative changes to the structure and functions of Provincial Governments and
Local Level Governments (PGLLG) have mandated new roles and responsibilities for
national and provincial departments and agencies delivering extension and other services to rural communities in PNG. The legislated mandate places the PNG Department of Agriculture and Livestock (PNGDAL) in an ideal position to review its future role as the lead
agency in facilitating agricultural development and serving the rural people of PNG.
