Fitryanti Pakiding has been on the faculty at Department of Agricultural and Agricultural Technology at Papua State University (Universitas Negeri Papua, UNIPA) since 2000. A year after she joined UNIPA, she was granted Fulbright Scholarship, and received a Ph.D. with a minor in Statistics in Agricultural Economics at Oklahoma State University (OSU). She returned to work at UNIPA in 2007 where she continues to teach undergraduate and graduate levels, including Research Operations, Statistics, Research Methodology, and Natural Resources Economics. In 2008, she helped the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) to build its community agricultural development programs in Papua and West Papua Provinces. Fitry has conducted multiple research projects, and has collaborated with local and national governments, and international NGOs. Her collaboration with the national government includes studies on assessing food security condition in the West Papua Province both in highland and lowland area and developing scenarios to improve its food security status. Since 2010, she has served as co-principal investigator in partnership with WWF-US and field team lead conducting socio economic surveys at MPAs in the BHS. As the Papua and West Papua Provinces are still considered among those with lowest Human Development Index (HDI) in Indonesia, she looks forward to enhancing her involvement with the local communities especially in efforts to improve their well being.
