Welcome to the Website of the Department of National Planning and Monitoring (DNPM) of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea.
The PNG Vision 2050 expresses the aspiration for PNG to be a ‘Smart, Wise, Fair, Healthy and Happy Society by 2050’ and be in the top 50 countries in the Human Development Index (HDI) ranking. The PNG Development Strategic Plan (DSP) 2010-2030 envisions PNG to be a ‘middle-income country’ by the year 2030.
With these visionary goals and objectives, the Department is committed to achieve an inclusive and sustainable economic growth for Papua New Guinea; to move the economy and country forward. We continue to work progressively to ensure that policies of Government at the sector and sub-national levels are coherently and strategically aligned with the Loloata Leader’s Commitment and the Government’s Medium Term Development Plan III 2018-2022. We ensure due diligence on public investment programmes are undertaken, and systems and processes are strengthened.
We value the development partnerships that the Government has forged to support its development priorities and we ensure effective coordination of development cooperation resources are of value for money.
DNPM is working diligently with all our stakeholders to build a better future for Papua New Guinea.
