The post-war period in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has been marked by several adverse dynamics affecting development. These include:
1. **Political Instability**: Frequent changes in government and political infighting have hindered consistent policy implementation, leading to unpredictability in governance.
2. **Corruption**: High levels of corruption have eroded public trust and diverted resources away from essential services and infrastructure development.
3. **Economic Dependence on Natural Resources**: The economy's heavy reliance on extractive industries, like mining and logging, has made it vulnerable to global commodity price fluctuations and has often neglected sustainable development practices.
4. **Social Inequality**: There remains significant disparity in wealth and access to services, particularly in rural areas, exacerbating poverty and limiting opportunities for many citizens.
5. **Inadequate Infrastructure**: Poor infrastructure—such as transportation, healthcare, and education—limits economic growth and access to markets, further stalling development efforts.
6. **Cultural and Ethnic Tensions**: Diverse tribal and ethnic identities sometimes lead to conflict, hindering national unity and collaborative development efforts.
These factors collectively challenge the country's ability to achieve stable, inclusive, and sustainable development.
