Engendering Mines in Development : A Promising Approach from Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a culturally
diverse, environmentally rich country with over five million
inhabitants, the majority of whom live on the eastern half
of the rugged and mountainous island of New Guinea, the rest
scattered among tropical archipelagos in the Bismark and
Solomon seas. PNG's natural beauty hides a legacy of
poverty and dependence on natural resources, especially
mining operations: there are currently six working mines in
PNG, five on the main island in rural, mountainous, and
unimaginably remote locations. The sixth operating mine, and
the only closed mine in the country, are situated on the
small islands of Lihir and Misima.
