Two Europeans were elected to represent the people of the Province, one in an open electorate and the other as the regional member. Nor was this European representation an isolated incident in the Madang Province. On the Rai coast, for the same elections, two European planters had been approached by- electors who asked them to stand in that seat. Of even more interest, however, was the fact that the two Europeans who chose to stand were not the only outsiders to secure a seat in the national parliament representing the people of Madang.

  • The International Tropical Timber Organization
    INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT DOCUMENT TITLE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF TROPICAL FOREST RESOURCES THROUGH STAKEHOLDER AGREEMENTS IN TRADITIONALLY OWNED AREAS OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA SERIAL NUMBER PD 324/04 Rev.3 (F) COMMITTEE REFORESTATION AND FOREST MANAGEMENT SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT OF P APUA NEW GUINEA ORIGINAL LANGUAGE ENGLISH SUMMARY Strengthened local level governance and investment in sustainable livelihoods is critical to sustainable forest management and the protection of the high value biodiversity throughout Papua New Guinea. Consultations with landowners, Local Level Government (LLG), forestry officials and conservation partners in the Adelbert Range since 1997, have led to the use of a new form of stakeholder agreement between traditional resource owners and the Almami LLG. These agreements, along with the use of pioneering legal tools and participatory conservation planning, monitoring and implementation, are designed to protect and conserve the rich forest biodiversity of the Adelbert Ranges and also facilitate sustainable forest management and compatible economic growth in the area. The development and use of these stakeholder agreements and management tools can provide valuable lessons for strengthening local governance and provide the basis for mainstrearning successful approaches in priority sites across PNG. This project will therefore work with the Almarni clans, with support from the LLG, to successfully implement enforceable stakeholder agreements. It will engage key partners in Madang Province, other NGOs, the private sector. It will consolidate lessons learned, identify policy implications of these lessons and responses to them, and promote opportunities to spread the approach to other high priority areas in PNG, thereby mainstreaming the use of stakeholder agreements.

  • Understanding Male Involvement in Vasectomy (Case Study Scenario in Madang Province, PNG)
    Contemporary PNG Studies: DWU Research Journal Volume 31, November 2019 47 Understanding male involvement in vasectomy (case study scenario in Madang Province, PNG) Waka Tosa Abstract Many PNG women and health agencies see lack of male involvement and support for family planning and vasectomy services as placing the burden of contraception on women. Vasectomy is a family planning method used by males as a contraceptive option to control birth and reduce unwanted pregnancies. This study was undertaken in Itutang community along Lower Ramu River in Middle Ramu District, Madang Province. Data was collected using a mixed method study approach. Qualitative data was collected through unstructured interviews and observation with post-vasectomy males, family planning providers and males in the community. Quantitative data was collected from the questionnaire administered by the researcher. The researcher completed 12 interviews (in-depth and focus groups) and 47 surveys were collated for this study. The aim of using both qualitative and quantitative methods in data collection was to understand males’ involvement in vasectomy and investigate factors that motivated males to accept vasectomy and other family planning services. The study found that males show a great interest in vasectomy services. This was largely due to the influences exerted by spouses of the males who received vasectomy procedure. Post-vasectomy males and a white missionary couple of New Tribes Mission Church were advocates of vasectomy and family planning in the community. The missionary couple from United State pioneered the family planning program in the church to reach out to families and married couples to consider options of birth control and spacing of children.
