Summary of publication
The Independent Progress Report finds that the PNG Electoral Support Program Phase 3 (ESP3) has contributed to some significant achievements: the continuation and enhancement of successful voter awareness activities initiated in the 2007 election; important contributions towards increasing the integrity of the election; and a number of significant steps to help strengthen the security environment. However, the Report questions whether this model of support is fit-for-purpose, given the stage of the electoral cycle and the electoral context in PNG.
