The Advancing PNG Women Leaders Network Inc. (APNGWLN) is happy to officially announce the 30 recipients of the inaugural Rural PNG Value-Adding Small Grants. These grants are dedicated to supporting community-based projects that foster economic empowerment and drive sustainable value-adding initiatives in rural Papua New Guinea.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our partner, the Old Dart Foundation (ODF), whose generous support has made these K5,000 grants possible, ensuring this vital funding reaches the silent achievers in our rural communities.
The selection process was competitive, drawing from 78 total submissions. The 30 successful organisations represent a diverse and impactful cross-section of value-adding initiatives, peacebuilding efforts, and critical community support programs across all four major regions of PNG.
Below is the list of successful projects and organisations for this Round 1 – 2025 Rural PNG Value-Adding Small Grants.
We are now in contact with the 30 awardees and look forward to seeing the positive impact of your projects in your villages and districts.
For those who were not successful in this round, please be encouraged that you will be able to apply for next round and we will be providing further information on Round 2 in 2026.
