O que funciona em Papua Nova Guiné

Papua New Guinea has implemented several large-scale development programmes with measurable results. The Rural Communications Project extended mobile coverage to ~500,000 rural residents by building 59 solar-powered base stations, raising rural coverage from ~20% to ~90% (2014–15), though 54 of 59 towers remain operational. The national REDD+ programme verified 17 million tCO₂e of avoided deforestation across 1.4 million hectares, earning USD 63.4 million in Green Climate Fund payments with ~USD 38 million directed to communities (as of July 2025). The immigration authority recently deployed a generative-AI visa processing system that reduced processing time from up to two weeks to under four minutes and auto-processes 95% of applications, though all metrics derive from vendor reporting with no independent government audit published.
