    Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Mary Fairio August 2014 © 2014 Mary Fairio. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea by MARY FAIRIO has been approved for the Department of Political Science and the College of Arts and Sciences by Julie White Associate Professor of Political Science Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract FAIRIO MARY, M.A., August 2014, Political Science Women and Politics in Presence: Case of Papua New Guinea Director ofThesis: Julie White One area that presents challenge for democracy is women representation, an important dimension for gender equality. However, there are major variations among countries. Papua New Guinea is one of the countries with the lowest number of female representatives in parliament. Two questions are asked in regard to the representation of women. First, why is it difficult for women to be elected in Papua New Guinea? And second, how do we explain where women were able to challenge others to be elected? Formal institution such as the electoral system is just one way to discuss gender equality. There are other areas of gender inequality that interact with the formal system relating to social, cultural, and economic factors. An analysis of these factors shows that even improving formal institutions to increase the number of women in political participation, gender inequality is still a challenge within and outside the legislative office.

    Policy & practice Transforming the health information system using mobile and geographic information technologies, Papua New Guinea Alexander Rosewell,a Phil Shearman,b Sundar Ramamurthyb & Rob Akersc Abstract In the context of declining economic growth, now exacerbated by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, Papua New Guinea is increasing the efficiency of its health systems to overcome difficulties in reaching global health and development targets. Before 2015, the national health information system was fragmented, underfunded, of limited utility and accessed infrequently by health authorities. We built an electronic system that integrated mobile technologies and geographic information system data sets of every house, village and health facility in the country. We piloted the system in 184 health facilities across five provinces between 2015 and 2016. By the end of 2020, the system’s mobile tablets were rolled out to 473 facilities in 13 provinces, while the online platform was available in health authorities of all 22 provinces, including church health services. Fractured data siloes of legacy health programmes have been integrated and a platform for civil registration systems established. We discuss how mobile technologies and geographic information systems have transformed health information systems in Papua New Guinea over the past 6 years by increasing the timeliness, completeness, quality, accessibility, flexibility, acceptability and utility of national health data. To achieve this transformation, we highlight the importance of considering the benefits of mobile tools and using rich geographic information systems data sets for health workers in primary care in addition to the needs of public health authorities. Introduction lot of mobile device technologies and geographic information systems in the capture and reporting of health data.

  • 9. Mobile Phone Registration in Papua New Guinea Will the Benefits Outweigh the Drawbacks?
    MEDIA FREEDOM IN MELANESIA 9. Mobile phone registration in Papua New Guinea Will the benefits outweigh the drawbacks? Commentary: The government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) has introduced a requirement for mobile phone registration. This commentary is a compre- hensive analysis of the registration regulation, the process and key challenges. The article is based on close observation of developments over several years, including attendance at court cases on the issue. The commentary includes a description of the regulation, definitions of relevant terminology, a timeline of events, reflections on personal experiences, comparison to other countries, and discussion of related issues. In weighing costs against benefits, the author aims to determine the value of such a regulation. A key concern is the risk of poor and disadvantaged people being excluded from mobile phone owner- ship. While many countries in Africa and elsewhere have introduced similar requirements for registration with the stated objective of improving security, there is little evidence available that this measure does in fact reduce crime. Additionally, in Papua New Guinea, most people do not have any form of written identification documentation, which makes the process of mobile phone registration challenging. Keywords: cell phones, communication, Melanesia, mobile phones, Pacific studies, Papua New Guinea, registration, security, SIM, technology, transparency AMANDA H. A. WATSON Australian National University, Canberra Introduction OBILE phone registration is legally required in Papua New Guinea (PNG), under the SIM Card Registration Regulation 2016.1 National MGazette No. G228 was signed by the Governor-General in April 2016. All mobile phone SIM cards must be registered with a service provider.

INTRODUCTION During its stay in Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Profile Mission made a few field visits. These visits proved to be very informative particularly those to the rural areas. It is the rural areas and conditions prevailing there that are usually not so well documented or described. Acting on the assumption that pictures speak louder than words, the Mission has prepared this photographic album making use of the photographs taken by the Mission members during the field visits. Brief descriptions of these photographs draw attention to some specified aspects or provide information which could not be included in the main report. A map is also included to illustrate the location of the various provinces of PNG. This album is meant to be a supplement to the main Mission report. S.V.S.
