Papua New Guinea is also a country striving for better living conditions for its people -- by improving food production and developing agricultural businesses. As yet, there are not enough skilled agriculture workers. CUSO is helping to fill these manpower gaps and train local people by recruiting skilled Canadians for two-year contracts.
