  • 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.
