The Project is operating in two (2) Districts of each of eight (8) Provinces. The civil works component of the Project (Output 4) involves construction of thirty-two (32) new Community Health Posts, ninety- six (96) new staff houses as well as providing medical equipment and small vehicles (cars, boats, or motorbikes) to support their operation. It will also install or upgrade sanitation facilities, provide waste management facilities and establish renewable energy supplies for those health facilities. The Community Health Post is deemed a Level 2 Health Facility under the PNG National Health Service “tadads, s ‘ole Delieatio Mati ad is euied to poide ateal ad hild pia health clinics. Provision is also made for birthing and postnatal inpatient care, short term paediatric and adult inpatient services and for triage, stabilisation and referral to higher level facilities of critically ill liets. A odest Poedue ‘oo is poided to allo eege are of trauma or serious medical conditions prior to referral and discrete consultation rooms are provided to ensure privacy for clients seeking care or advice for their conditions. The Biaru Community Health Post is expected to provide health services for up to forty (40) people each day. Biaru Village is located about sixty-five kilometres due south of Wau Station in the Bulolo District of Morobe Province. It is in the Wau Rural Local Level Government area and is accessible by road from Lae through Bulolo, the nearest township, and then on to Wau but can take up to six hours of travelling time by 4WD vehicle dependent upon prevailing weather conditions. The site is in a very remote and underserved area of the Bulolo District. The immediate catchment population for the proposed Biaru Community Health Post is 2963 persons which includes those people previously served by the Tauris and Wisini Aid Posts which are to be closed. Demand for maternal and child health services to be offered by the Community Health Post will mostly be derived from the 520 children less than 5 years of age and 640 women of child bearing age living in the area as identified through the 2011 Census. However, it is also anticipated that those living in other villages served only by dilapidated aid posts will also access the new Biaru Community Health Post and that the true catchment population will be closer to 7000 people once the facility is constructed and commissioned. The nearest Hospital is the Bulolo District Hospital which is up to six hours travelling time to the north but, because of its poor condition and lack of usable bed capacity, most medical evacuations are to the ANGAU Memorial General Hospital in Lae which is a further two hours away. Urgent obstetric cases are evacuated by chartered helicopter but other cases are transported by road. The site at Biaru, acquired for the State by the Morobe Provincial Government, satisfies all of the Pojets criteria required for construction of the proposed Community Health Post to proceed: The land is in Bulolo District of the Morobe Province The Provincial Health Adviser of Morobe Province has endorsed the concept plan, the site plan and the final design of the Community Health Post after consulting with the local communities that it will serve. Landowners of the area have been consulted extensively about their healthcare needs and 3 voluntarily offered land for the project in order to secure a Community Health Post within their village. The Poies “tategi Health “eie Deelopet Pla, 5-2020 eoeds construction of a Level 2 Community Health Post in the village of Biaru to serve the health needs of the people living in the immediate area who are presently served by the Tauris, Biaru and Wisini Aid Posts. That Plan has been endorsed by the Provincial Administration. The Provincial Administrator is prepared to enter a Memorandum of Agreement with the Secretary for Health confirming the availability of recurrent budget for operation of the facility The Provincial Health Adviser has nominated the three staff members to be assigned to the facility and those staff have undergone extensive upskilling in maternal and child health service provision. The nominated Officer in Charge has completed the Rural Health Facility Management Course delivered by Divine Word University. The Community Health Post design has been certified by the Manager, Health Facilities Branch of the National Department of Health as consistent with the National Health Service Standards, 2011 The Environmental Management Plan was endorsed by the relevant officers of the Asian Development Bank on 24th October, 2016. The former customary owners of the land consented to sell their land to the State through the Land Investigation Report dated 26th August, 2015. The land offered has been cleared in the past but is now covered with low regrowth, is slightly sloping to the front and consists of well drained clay and loam. It is known locally as Kepis Koimbak and registered as Portion 427C Milinch of Kumbak (SW), Fourmil of Wau, Bulolo District, Morobe Province. The Lad Iestigatio ‘epot idiates that thee is sufficient land available and thus the oes a affod to sell the lad. The lad as oed ees of the Kepis Clan and had ee auied though inheritance. Thei ights to the lad ae ot otested. Mr. Koum Arua, Mr. Kump Etaman, Mr. Upi Karong, Mr. Kembai Namun, Mr. Wesley Jack, Mr Mapi Kai, Mr. Waup Kuyaip, Mr Sombiang Wata, Mr Waup Amua, Mr Jocky Kaya and Mr. Kasu Minai are aed i the “hedule of Oes, “tatus ad ‘ights to the Lad setio of the Lad Iestigatio Report as Agets possessig full ights as the lad oes and are nominated by the landowners to be their representatives and agents for the purpose of executing a transfer to the Provincial Administrator. They are authorised to accept on our behalf all money and considerations paid by the said Adiistatio i oetio ith the poposed tasfe/lease of the said lad. The extent of the site was determined by the customary owners and the owners of adjoining land in the company of the Surveyor prior to survey on 19th July, 2014 and is quantified at 2.09 hectares by him. The boundaries are clearly marked and are consistent with the decision of the local landowners. The owners of contiguous land have also declared that they have no interest in or rights by native custom to the surveyed land. The site was selected by the customary owners because it is central to the surrounding villages of Ilabu soeties spelled Elau, Kembaka, Taurins, Wandumi, Nako, Biawen, Wisini and other isolated villages further to the south and to the east whose villagers have limited access to other health services. It was also selected because of its proximity to the road leading to Wau and then on to Bulolo and Lae. The unimproved value of the land provided for the Community Health Post was assessed by the Valuer-General to be K73,150.00. 4 The Certificate of Alienability No. 10/3/2016 was issued by the Secretary of the Department of Provincial and Local Government Affairs on 7th of March, 2016. Payment of K73,150.00 was made to the authorised agents by the Morobe Provincial Government on behalf of the State in Biaru Village on 4th February, 2017. The Deed of Release and the Sale and Transfer documents were signed by the Agents in the presence of a Customary Lands Officer of DL & PP. The process of obtaining the Title on behalf of the State is now complete and tenders have been invited for construction of the proposed Community Health Post.

Its key objectives are to identify areas of risk in the inter- stakeholder relationships and to provide the means of ensuring equity in the distribution of mine-related benefits. · On present design, the project will be a small to medium sized operation, compared with the larger contemporary mining and petroleum operations in Papua New Guinea. Partly as a consideration of the project‘s size, this report deals only in passing with the project‘s macroeconomic contributions to Papua New Guinea, useful though they may be, instead looking much more closely at its effects within the District it is situated in, one of 89 in the country. · This emphasis is also helpful in focussing on the key social and political risks of the project at a time in the development of Papua New Guinea when contemporary political process has seen renewed efforts to de-centralise many of the planning and implementation functions of government to District level.

    GIALens. (2010):3. <http://www.gial.edu/GIALens/issues.htm> Comments on Sorcery in Papua New Guinea KARL J. FRANKLIN, PH. D. Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics and SIL International ABSTRACT Variations of sorcery and witchcraft are commonly reported in Papua New Guinea. The Melanesian Institute (in Goroka, PNG) has published two volumes (Zocca, ed. 2009; Bartle 2005) that deal extensively with some of the issues and problems that have resulted from the practices. In this article I review Zocca, in particular, but add observations of my own and those of other authors. I provide a summary of the overall folk views of sorcery and witchcraft and the government and churches suggestions on how to deal with the traditional customs. Introduction Franco Zocca, a Divine Word Missionary and ordained Catholic priest from Italy with a doctorate in sociology, has edited a monograph on sorcery in Papua New Guinea (Zocca, ed. 2009). Before residing in PNG and becoming one of the directors of the Melanesian Institute, Zocca worked on Flores Island in Indonesia. His present monograph is valuable because it calls our attention to the widespread use and knowledge of sorcery and witchcraft in PNG. Zocca’s monograph reports on 7 areas: the Simbu Province, the East Sepik Province, Kote in the Morobe Province, Central Mekeo and Roro, both in the Central Province, Goodenough Island in the Milne Bay Province and the Gazelle Peninsula in the East New Britain Province. The monograph follows Bartle’s volume (2005), also published by the Melanesian Institute. Before looking at Zocca’s volume and adding some observations from the Southern Highlands, I include some general comments on the word sanguma .

    Type X Pottery) Morobe Province) Papua New Guinea: Petrography and Possible Micronesian Relationships JIM SPECHT, IAN LILLEY, AND WILLIAM R. DICKINSON THE STUDY OF PREHISTORIC INTERACTION BETWEEN ISLANDS AND ARCHIPEL­ agoes of the Pacific has been largely concerned with processes of colonization and the development of exchange networks, both of which involved a complex flow of people, goods, knowledge, languages and genes. As Gosden and Pavlides (1994: 163) point out, however, this does not mean that "Pacific societies ... were in contact over vast distances all the time," and there must have been occa­ sions when interaction was not planned, predictable, or sustained, nor did it in­ volve the large-scale relocation of people. Such contacts no doubt contributed to the complex archaeological and ethnographic picture in many areas, but some might have left little or no expression in the archaeological record (cf. Rainbird 2004: 246; Spriggs 1997: 190). We discuss here a possible example of this on Huon Peninsula on the north coast of New Guinea, where aspects of a prehistoric pottery known as Type X suggest contact between the peninsula and the Palau Islands of western Micronesia about 1000 years ago. Throughout the article, we use the term "Micronesia" solely in a geographical sense, without cultural impli­ cations (cf. Rainbird 2004). Prehistoric links involving both colonization and the transfer of technologies between the island groups of Melanesia-West Polynesia and various parts of cen­ tral and eastern Micronesia seem well established through the evidence of linguis­ tics (e.g., Bayard 1976; Blust 1986; Pawley 1967; Shutler and Marck 1975: 101), archaeology (e.g., Athens 1990a:29, 1990b:173, 1995:268; Ayres 1990:191, 203; Intoh 1996,1997,1999), biological anthropology (e.g., Swindler and Weis­ ler 2000; Weisler and Swindler 2002), and cultural practices such as kava drinking (Crowley 1994).
