PNG National Research Institute

Product Description

The Papua New Guinea National Research Institute (PNG NRI)
is the country’s premier public policy think tank, dedicated to
conducting independent research and providing evidence-based
advice to government, civil society, and development partners. Its
mission is to support national development by turning research into
practical policy solutions. PNG NRI focuses on critical areas such as
economics, governance, land reform, education, health, and social
development. Through its publications, seminars, and consultative
forums, the institute helps shape policies that address Papua New
Guinea’s most pressing challenges.

Beyond research, PNG NRI also plays a vital role in capacity
building. It offers training programs like the Diploma in Economic
Policy Analysis (DEPA), which equips professionals with the skills
to design and evaluate policies. The institute provides platforms for
dialogue, bringing together policymakers, academics, and
communities to discuss issues and share insights. In this way, PNG
NRI not only generates knowledge but also ensures that it is
accessible and actionable, strengthening governance and contributing
to sustainable development across the country.
