THE NAMORONG REPORT: PNG’s progress jeopardized by inequity and environmental threats
23.11.11
THE NAMORONG REPORT: PNG’s progress jeopardized by inequity and environmental threats: “Papua New Guinea’s progress jeopardized by inequalities and environmental threats,” that is the stark warning from the United Nations Development Agency. Today it launches the 2011 Human Development Report in Port Moresby
The report highlights that in terms of Gender Inequality Index (GII), which reflects gender-based inequalities in three dimensions i.e. reproductive health, empowerment, and economic activity, Papua New Guinea has a GII value of 0.674, ranking it 140 out of 146 countries in the 2011 index. A key area that PNG needs to strengthen and address as matter of urgency, for instance on maternal mortality, i.e. for every 100,000 live births, 250 women die from pregnancy-related causes.
