The EU-PNG Partnership for Good Governance (P4GG) is a five-year (2020 – 2026) programme designed to
strengthen the governance and management of the Department of Justice and Attorney General (DJAG), the Royal
Papua New Guinea Police Constabulary (RPNGPC), and the Independent Commission for Against Corruption (ICAC)
as well as revitalizing the Village Court System.

P4GG is implemented through direct budget support to the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Department of Treasury and
complementary technical support administered through different contracts. One contract is led by Adam Smith
Europe, part of Adam Smith International (ASI), as well as partners IBF International Consulting and BiRD (Bureau
for Institutional Reforms and Democracy) to assist in the PNG Law and Justice Sector. The EU has also mobilised
also other technical assistance under the 'PNG Anti-corruption project' (implemented jointly by the United Nations
Development Porgramme (UNDP) and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)) and more recently
additional complementary assistance through GFA Consulting Group GmbH (Germany) to the SLOS Secretariat to
support in its coordination role, crucial for supporting economic growth and strengthening the national security.
