Abstract

This paper examines the effects of fisheries decentralization strategies in Papua New Guinea. The paper assess the financial, human resources, information, and institutional mechanisms that the National Fisheries Authority uses to connect with provincial fisheries offices to show the consequences of institutional reforms. The findings suggest both intended and unintended effects, particularly in terms of shifting accountabilities and loyalty. These findings are broadly applicable to decentralization and institutional change scholars and practitioners interested in understanding how governments implement institutional change reforms and the effects of this implementation.
