Australian National University Improving the Impact of State and Non State Interventions in Overcoming Sorcery Accusation Related Violence in Papua New Guinea

This ANU report documents project findings, outcomes, impact, and lessons learned of the project ‘Improving the Impact of State and Non-State Interventions in Overcoming Sorcery Accusation Related Violence (SARV) in Papua New Guinea (PNG)’. The research began in 2016 when SARV was perceived as a growing problem in PNG and had attracted domestic and international calls for effective government response. The project was supported by the Australian Government’s Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development (Pacific Women) program in Papua New Guinea through the PNGAusPartnership, since the research began in 2016.
