The EU-STREIT PNG Programme primarily focuses on three value chains of cocoa, vanilla and fisheries (aquaculture, riverine and inshore/reef) and aims to achieve an overall objective of "increasing sustainable and inclusive economic development of rural areas. 
In this respect, the Programme works on a critical outcome of “increasing the economic returns and opportunities from three selected value chains - cocoa, vanilla and fisheries.”
Under this outcome, major outputs include increased volume, value and improved quality of cocoa, vanilla and fisheries products, more value addition and an increased number of people and enterprises engaging in and benefiting from improved value chain development. Benefits planned include both increased income and enhanced food security and nutrition.
