Rather than looking to create new policy prescriptions for the economic development and security of Papua New Guinea, Captain Stephen O'Keefe, Royal Australian Navy makes the case for improving on an existing set of policies.  Through a series of coordinated and concurrent initiatives, termed the ‘Enhanced Strongim Gavman Program’, the paper details how existing strategies can be made more effective, and more efficient, in order to maximise the outcomes for Papua New Guinea and enable it to reach core development goals.  In turn it argues Australia will also benefit from having a prosperous and secure northern neighbour.
