  • Project Proposal Form 2019
    Project Proposal Form 2019 Introduction One of the key objectives of the National ICT Policy is to ensure equitable access to Information and Communication Technology Services. The policy objective is founded on the premise that ICT is seen as necessary tool for economic growth and social development. The Universal Access Board within NICTA is mandated to give effect to this policy by identifying and developing projects aimed at bridging the telecommunications and ICT gap that limits the opportunities available to ordinary citizens. Within this context, the National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA) is inviting stakeholders including the general public, ICT operators and service providers to propose or suggest any projects or programs that you think are consistent with the overarching goals within the ICT sector and that NICTA should consider in its current or future programs. Proposals that are accepted will be considered by the UAS Board for potential inclusion in the 2019 UAS programs. Scope of Proposals All stakeholders including the general public, ICT operators and service providers are invited to propose or suggest any project for NICTA’s consideration. The submitted proposals should seek to promote the long-term economic and social development of Papua New Guinea through projects that will among other things, encourage the development of ICT infrastructure and improve the availability of ICT services within the country including under-served communities and geographic areas. Proponents are advised to note that submitting proposals does not secure funding/assistance from NICTA in any form or guarantee inclusion in the UAS programs. Submitted proposals will only be received as project concepts for NICTA’s consideration.

  • 13. Eruptions at Rabaul: 1994–1999
    13. Eruptions at Rabaul: 1994–1999 Many of our old folk (our patuana) knew that an eruption was imminent. The strength of the earthquakes told them that an eruption was only a matter of days or hours away … . But the government authorities had not said anything about an eruption … . The Volcanological Observatory, as we have always been told, has some of the most modern and sophisticated monitoring equipment which can predict an eruption to the minute. How come these machines have not said anything about an imminent eruption? Derol Ereman, a Boisen High School student from Matupit Island (quoted by Neumann, 1995, pp. 2–3). First Three Weeks Independence Day celebrations for the 19th national birthday of Papua New Guinea were interrupted by earthquake activity over the weekend in Rabaul beginning at 2.50–2.51 am on Sunday 18 September 1994. Two earthquakes about 40 seconds apart — one near Tavurvur the other near Vulcan — were felt strongly throughout the harbour area. Aftershocks and ground shaking continued, particularly in the Vulcan area. Rabaul Volcanological Observatory (RVO) volcanologists suspected, for about 12 hours, that the earthquake activity represented another ‘seismic swarm’, similar to many of those experienced in Rabaul during the 1970s and 1980s. The ground shaking continued and, by Sunday afternoon, villagers near Tavurvur on Matupit Island had begun a spontaneous evacuation into Rabaul town, encouraged by older people who recalled the 1937 volcanic eruption. Hundreds of other Matupits, however, remained on their threatened island.1 The number of people moving along the road grew, fed by other nearby communities, and by evening thousands of evacuees had gathered at oodlit Queen Elizabeth Park, an evacuation assembly point prescribed in the Rabaul Disaster Plan.

Our 29 per cent stake in the world- class PNG LNG Project has transformed us into a regionally significant oil and gas producer and exporter. Our in-country experience combined with our partners’ technical and project management skills and PNG’s world class assets, places us in an excellent position to continue developing additional LNG trains and grow our presence in the global market. Our recent acquisition of oil interests in the Alaska North Slope (USA) contains many exciting exploration and appraisal opportunities with material resource upside. These projects have the potential to double our production within the next seven years and ready us to supply more LNG into the market as the world transitions to a low- carbon future. Together with the Oil Search Foundation and other stakeholders, we are delivering improvements in health, education and leadership, women’s empowerment and critical infrastructure. As a responsible operator and PNG’s largest non-government employer, we work closely with our joint venture partners, regulators, government, land owners and communities to ensure long-term, mutually beneficial outcomes.
