This year – which is Papua New Guinea’s 50th anniversary and UPNG’s 60th – we are celebrating the ANU and UPNG working together for the past 10 years, with the support of the Australian Government, to develop the skills of the next generation of leaders through the ANU-UPNG Partnership.
You can read about the activities of the ANU-UPNG partnership here, including our reports and external evaluations.
View the commemorative booklet below on the partnership's achievements.
The relationship between UPNG and ANU began more than 50 years ago, prior to PNG's Independence.
At the 2025 PNG Update conference dinner, the ANU's Emeritus Professor Sinclair Dinnen gave a historical overview. View the full speech or an edited version published by Devpolicy Blog.
