| description |
In recent years, there has been a
growing interest in investments from the government,
development partners and the private sector in integrated
development/growth corridors and other spatial development
initiatives, where coordinated investments in transport
infrastructure, power, communications and markets are
expected to create conditions to unleash Papua New Guinea’s
undoubted agricultural potential. Growth corridor strategies
are increasingly invoked to coordinate public and private
investment around strategic backbone infrastructure in
developing countries. Investments in soft and hard
infrastructure to promote investment in processing zones or
out-grower schemes and facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue
aim to overcome coordination failures and bottlenecks
related to market linkages or producer-relations to secure
supply chains. This paper discusses the model of growth
corridors as a tool for inclusive agricultural development
in Papua New Guinea. It provides corridor and other spatial
development approaches in terms of i) their geographical
scope, ii) their objectives and iii) their governance
mechanisms, the driving force behind the corridor
initiative. Finally, it analyzes the potential and the needs
of how the Markham and Ramu valleys can be a role model for
an agricultural transformation in Papua New Guinea. |
