The Kokoda Initiative is a joint Papua New Guinea / Australian government programme. In April 2008, the two countries signed a joint-understanding to work together to protect the Owen Stanley Ranges (including the Kokoda Track) and to improve the lives of communities along the track.

The KTA is responsible for delivering one of the three main elements of the Kokoda Initiative – track management and promotion.

Other Kokoda Initiative program streams include improving community livelihoods through the Kokoda Development Programme, and protection of the broader Owen Stanley Ranges.
