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.

  • CHAPTER 12 INFRASTRUCTURE and SERVICES PLAN (Sectoral)
    The Project for the Study on Lae-Nadzab Urban Development Plan in Papua New Guinea CHAPTER 12 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES PLAN (Sectoral) Spatial and economic development master plans prepared in the previous Chapter 11 are the foundation of infrastructure and social service development projects. In this chapter, the Project target sector sub-projects are proposed based on the sector based current infrastructure and social service status studies illustrated in Chapter 6 of the Report. In particular, transportation sector, water supply sector, sanitation & sewage sector, waste management sector, storm water & drainage sector and social service sector (mainly education and healthcare) are discussed, and power supply sector and telecommunication sector possibilities are indicated. Each of these sub-projects is proposed in order to maximize positive impact to the regional economic development as well as spatial development in the Project Area. Current economic activities and market conditions in the region are taken into consideration with the economic development master plan in order to properly identify local needs of infrastructure and social services. The development of industry to improve economic activities in the region becomes the key to change such livelihood in Lae-Nadzab Area with stable job creation, and proposed infrastructure sub-projects will be so arranged to maximize the integration with economic development. 12.1 Land Transport 12.1.1 Travel Demand Forecasting Figure 12.1.1 shows the flowchart of the travel demand forecasting process of the Project Area. The travel analysis was based on the traditional four-step model. The data from the household survey, person trip survey, traffic count survey and roadside interview survey were the main inputs of the analysis.

  • Life Expectancy of Kokoda Track Authority Communities in Central Province, Papua New Guinea John Burton
    34 Burton, Life expectancy of Kokoda Track communities Life expectancy of Kokoda Track Authority communities in Central Province, Papua New Guinea John Burton Abstract A cohort survival method is used to construct life tables for resident and non-resident families in Ward 18 of the Koiari Rural Local-Level Government. The life tables plausibly show that the rural-dwelling residents had a life expectancy of 49.9 years compared to 61.1 years for the Port Moresby-dwelling non-residents. The finding reveals a gap in life expectancy between rural and urban Papua New Guineans suggesting rural-dwellers are 30 years behind urban- dwellers in health status, the two figures matching life expectancy from the 1980 census (49.6 years) and as quoted by UNDP for PNG in 2010 (61.1 years). It backs the findings of general reviews that PNG’s rural health service is ‘impaired’ and ‘unable to fulfil basic functions’. Key words: Life expectancy, rural health. Introduction The Kokoda Initiative Social Mapping Project was part of a programme of technical assistance provided by the Australian government to the PNG Department of Environment and Conservation1 (DEC) under the first and second bilateral ‘Joint Understanding between PNG and Australia on the Kokoda Track and Owen Stanley Ranges’ agreements (Commonwealth of Australia & GoPNG, 2008, 2010). The objective of the project was to provide DEC and other Kokoda Initiative stakeholders with detailed profile of the communities making up the LLG wards of Kokoda Track Authority (KTA), an entity created in the late 1990s or early 2000s as a Special Purpose Authority under the Local-level Governments Administration 1997 (Filer, 2004, Table 1).
