Under the MoU, the two organizations will work together on training and capacity building, with FPNG providing training to MSPNG staff on detecting FSV during service delivery, while MSPNG will upskill FPNG’s health team on basic SRH interventions.
Both organizations will also engage in awareness and advocacy efforts, including SRH education, outreach activities, and participation in seminars and workshops on SGBV, women’s health, and gender inclusion.
Additionally, the partnership will focus on referrals and case management.
FPNG will refer survivors to MSPNG for emergency SRH services, including counselling, medical care, and contraceptives, while MSPNG will refer clients to FPNG for case management support.
The organizations will also collaborate on research and evidence-based advocacy to improve national and subnational responses to SGBV and FSV.
The partnership reflects the shared vision of both organizations to address the urgent needs of survivors of violence and to promote gender equality and inclusion.
By combining their expertise, MSPNG and FPNG aim to create a more coordinated and effective response to SGBV and FSV, ensuring survivors receive the care and support they need to rebuild their lives.
The MoU will remain in effect for three years, with opportunities for renewal and further collaboration.
Both organizations are committed to ensuring the success of this partnership and to making a lasting impact on the lives of survivors of violence in PNG.
