Strategic communications and public diplomacy play a central role in supporting SWLT’s End of Program Outcomes, including enhancing Australia’s trusted and visible development partnership with Papua New Guinea and strengthening understanding of system reform over time.

Through this Request for Proposal Process, SWLT will establish a pre-qualified pool of event management service providers to deliver high-quality, risk-aware, and strategically aligned event planning, coordination and management services on an as-needed basis.

Events supported under this Task Scope are not standalone activities. They are high-visibility public diplomacy moments that must reinforce reform narratives, partnership credibility, system coherence, and industry engagement in line with the SWLT Communications and Public Diplomacy Strategy. All public-facing events will be coordinated and cleared through agreed Australian High Commission processes.
