The Papua New Guinea government has identified the need for policies and strategies to rectify this situation and to implement its commitments under relevant MEAs effectively. An audit conducted by the Office of the Auditor-General of Papua New Guinea in 2010 included a specific recommendation that the Department of Environment and Conservation consider formulating consolidated solid waste management legislation that deals with the management of solid waste in Papua New Guinea. No such legislation has yet been enacted.
