INTRODUCTION This report is the second part of the Environmental and Social Framework (ESMF) for the Agriculture Commercialisation and Diversification (PACD) Project funded by the World Bank (WB) and delivered by the Department of Agriculture and Livestock (DAL) in Papua New Guinea (PNG). This report will largely focus upon the rural population, whom are heavily engaged in, and reliant upon, commercial and subsistence agriculture. Part One comprises baseline data at the national, regional, provincial and household level. Part Two comprises a high-level environmental and social impact assessment due to widespread nature of project activities across the country. A.1 Methodology A study team was engaged by the Project Coordination Unit (PPAP) to develop this report and subsequent safeguard instruments. There were three phases to the scope of work: • Phase One comprised an effectiveness review of safeguards issues and management, which included o a desktop review of relevant PPAP documents o consultation with PMU Cocoa in Kokopo and the PMU Coffee in Goroka o workshops with Lead Partners o participation in farmer gender workshop in Goroka o focus group discussions (FGDs) with farmer groups. • Phase Two comprised field work in Madang, Lae and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (ARB), which included o focus group discussions with farmer groups o key informant interviews with government officials and industry partners. • Phase Three comprised data consolidation and write up. The field work took place between December 2018 and February 2019.

  • 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.
