The purpose of this study is to analyze whether local wisdom can be the foundation in mobilizing contextual governance to stimulate the presence of governance arrangements towards Good Governance in Papua. This research is a qualitative descriptive research, using a literature review approach. The data are from literature reviews, book journals, documents or data sources related to research. Data analysis includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation and data interpretation. Validate data through member checks or examine findings using written interpretations from academics in the field. The results of the study indicate that governance adopts elements of the cultural values of the local community (tribes) which have been the reference for thinking and acting. Without it, the implementation of governance will not produce a significant overall impact. In the context of governance, the overall perspective of local values is very helpful in adjusting the implementation of local government in Papua.

The implications of access analysis in Papua New Guinea are that people lack the knowledge and resources to be able to handle encounters and thus that their hand must be suitably strengthened. This means strengthening the hands of the "normal" disadvantaged access applicant through the provision of information about the interrelationship of administrative rules and resource allocation. A second reqirement of an improved administrative culture for access is the education of administrators to recognize that, however, well-intentioned they may be, they act in a system in which access encounters and persisting structures interrelate very closely. Through elucidation of the role of administrative routine in the definition and maintenance of culture and gender relations, administrators may come to see through their special ideologies to the culture beyond.

Women often occupy different roles in a foreign culture. Avoid offensive assumptions and behavior by understanding the position of women in Papua New Guinean society: their legal rights; access to education and health care; workforce participation; and their dating, marriage, and family life

This study, based on a lifelong involvement with New Guinea, compares the culture of the Kamoro (18,000 people) with that of their eastern neighbours, the Asmat (40,000), both living on the south coast of West Papua, Indonesia. The comparison, showing substantial differences as well as striking similarities, contributes to a deeper understanding of both cultures. Part I looks at Kamoro society and culture through the window of its ritual cycle, framed by gender. Part II widens the view, offering in a comparative fashion a more detailed analysis of the socio-political and cosmo-mythological setting of the Kamoro and the Asmat rituals. Next is a systematic comparison of the rituals. The comparison includes a cross-cultural, structural analysis of relevant myths.

This publication is of interest to scholars and students in Oceanic studies and those drawn to the comparative study of cultures.

Jan Pouwer (1924) started his career as a government anthropologist in West New Guinea in the 1950s and 1960s, with periods of intensive fieldwork, in particular among the Kamoro. A distinguished anthropologist, he held professorships at universities around the world.
