UK PNG bilateral fund
The British High Commission in Port Moresby administers the Bilateral Fund Programme on behalf of the United Kingdom Foreign and Commonwealth Office focused on:
1. Counter terrorism, weapons proliferation and their causes:
- reduce the risks to the UK and its interests overseas from international terrorism
- counter the proliferation of WMD materials and their means of delivery
- ensure effective controls on all weapons, and pursue disarmament, to reduce the risk of conflict.
2. Promote a low carbon, high growth global economy:
- build the political conditions to achieve climate security through a rapid transition to a low carbon economy
- manage geopolitical risks to the UK’s energy security through open and competitive energy markets
- promote sustainable growth and reduced poverty and inequality.
3. Prevent and resolve conflict:
- effective conflict prevention, resolution, stabilisation and post-conflict reconstruction
- respect for good governance and human rights, building states’ responsibility to protect their own citizens
- prevention of state failure and fragility
4. Develop effective international institutions, above all the UN and EU:
- build a rules-based international system to meet the challenges of globalisation
- with a reformed UN at its core, promoting peace and upholding the rule of law
- incorporating emerging powers, encouraging them to play a constructive role
- supported by an EU that delivers for its citizens in response to global challenges.
