As Eywa Systems accelerates its work in Papua New Guinea, it is imperative to emphasize on the importance of the green fee management system. Green fees are increasingly commonly charged to tourists visiting national parks, companies extracting timber, or operators running eco-tourism lodges.
The system empowers CCDA to guarantee secured end-to-end fee collection and management, enabling the Agency to supervise the full lifecycle of green fees starting with revenue collection and ending with transparent disbursement into environmental, community, and climate initiatives.
It is a digital software that handles the entire lifecycle of an environmental fee: collection, tracking, allocation, and reporting ensuring that every proceeds into funds conservation.
The system serves four key functions:
With that foundation established, Eywa Systems has announced its active engagement in Papua New Guinea through the development of a comprehensive Green Fee Management System tailored to the country’s unique challenges. Papua New Guinea is a global biodiversity hotspot, home to vast rainforests, coral reefs, and customary lands. However, its remote geography, cash-dependent economy and limited banking infrastructure have historically made environmental fee collection unreliable and result in a persistently low collection rate for conservation funds.
The newly designed system is exceptionally robust and efficient, achieved through an integrated approach that combines online payments, cash accounting, corporate accounts, and credit management. This seamless integration eliminates barriers and ensures that every transaction, regardless of payment method, is captured, traceable, and accounted for in real time.
While the project is still in implementation, early outcomes point to improved collection mechanisms, reduced administrative bottlenecks, and greater trust among stakeholders. The system also lays the groundwork for linking green fees to tangible on-the-ground outcomes around reforestation, marine protection, and community-led conservation programs.
This is more than just compliance; it’s about creating a system where environmental contributions reach the frontlines of conservation. Papua New Guinea is a priority market for us, and we are proud to be part of a solution that balances development with ecological responsibility.”
The Eywa Systems team is currently working closely with local partners in PNG to ensure the platform aligns with national policies, integrates with existing financial infrastructures, and remains accessible even in remote areas.
For a tourist arriving at a PNG national park, the experience will be simple: tap a card or use mobile money, pay the green fee, and receive a digital receipt. Behind that simple act, the Eywa system will ensure that a portion of that fee reaches a community-led mangrove planting project and that everyone can verify it.
This engagement reinforces Eywa Systems’ broader mission which is to build digital tools that make environmental finance work fairly, effectively, and at scale wherever nature and economy meet.
Eywa Systems provides purpose-built technology solutions for green finance, carbon markets, and natural resource management. The company helps governments, NGOs, and private sector clients turn environmental commitments into measurable action. Its flagship product is a comprehensive Green Fee Management System designed for biodiversity-rich, infrastructure-limited regions.
