This article appears to be a preview or excerpt, with the full content accessible only to subscribers. The provided text describes a scene at a cocoa budding training session held in Yembiyembi, a remote river community within the Gawi Local Level Government in East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea.

During the session, an elderly farmer reportedly stood to speak after the discussion moved from the technical aspects of cocoa grafting to broader household planning strategies. The training incorporated the use of drawing tools from the Gender Action Learning System (GALS), a methodology designed to facilitate joint planning and decision-making within households.
