TADEP was a multidisciplinary research program that aimed to improve the livelihoods of rural men and women in Papua New Guinea through five component research projects. Elizabeth Brennan was engaged as the Program Coordinator and developed a series of correlating objectives that help realise this fundamental aim and identify key areas of change that the program sought to catalyse.
TADEP moved away from a traditional siloed research approach and harnessed systems-thinking methodology to address intrinsically interconnected and complex challenges. TADEP facilitated opportunities for cross-program collaboration and capacity building, delivered a coherent and coordinated communications strategy, developed and maintained a program-wide participatory monitoring and evaluation framework, and ensured that the guiding principles of gender equity and private-sector led development are embedded across all program-level activities.
