SUMMARY 1. This Project Paper is in response to a request that the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) made through letters dated April 12, 2016 from the Department of Treasury, and seeks the approval of the Country Director to introduce the following changes to the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project, Phase 2 (RMRP II) (P119471 and P145120), IDA Credit No. 4931-PG, IDA Credit No. 5404-PG, and any necessary accompanying amendments to the project’s legal documents: revise the Results Matrix and monitoring indicators; extend the closing date of IDA Credit No. 4931-PG (the original RMRP II Credit) by 20 months, or until March 31, 2018;1 eliminate the requirement for counterpart funding for works and provide 100 percent financing from IDA funds for new works contracts signed on or after September 1, 2015; reallocate project funds between disbursement categories; and modify one project sub-component. 2. As a result of the continuing slide in the value of mineral resources, the macro-economic situation in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has deteriorated and GoPNG is under increasing budgetary pressure. GoPNG is no longer able to make its 22 percent contribution towards the cost of road works under RMRP II. As a result, GoPNG has asked that Credit No. IDA-5404-PG be restructured to allow for 100 percent financing of IDA funds for new works contracts. 3. The modifications proposed as part of this restructuring will not change the project development objective (PDO) or impact the fiduciary, safeguards or implementation arrangements that are currently in place for RMRP II. No new activities are proposed, no additional safeguards will be triggered, and there will be no escalation of the safeguards rating. 4. The Borrower remains fully committed to RMRP II. A qualified employer’s project manager continues to provide effective implementation support. Currently, the Department of Works (DoW), the implementing agency for RMRP II, has several works packages at various stages of preparation. These packages have a collective value estimated at US$65 million and represent 38 percent of RMRP II’s overall funding. Contracts for two of the packages have been approved and works to rehabilitate the roads are expected to commence after the contracts are signed in May 2016 (expected). B. PROJECT STATUS 5. Background. RMRP II was approved on May 3, 2011 for Special Drawing Rights (SDR) 27.40 million (equivalent to US$43.00 million), and became effective on August 30, 2011. This was followed by an additional financing, which was approved on February 19, 2014 for SDR 82.40 million (equivalent to US$126.50 million). 1 IDA Credit No. 4931-PG is the main project credit and has a current closing date of July 31, 2016. The additional financing (IDA Credit No. 5404-PG) closes on April 30, 2021. 1 6. The PDO is to: (i) improve road transport to project areas through providing satisfactory physical condition and safety in selected roads; (ii) strengthen institutional arrangements for road maintenance, including the participation of the private sector and communities; and (iii) enhance road-related economic opportunities for women. The development objectives of RMRP II remain relevant and achievable. 7. Project Status. As of April 15, 2016, US$27.87 million, or about 16.5 percent of available funding, had been disbursed. Since the approval of the first additional financing in February 2014, project activities have focused on preparing designs for several road improvements, and while disbursements have been limited to date, they are set to increase with the expected signing of two contracts for road works by end-May 2016. These are collectively valued at US$36.70 million. DoW has identified a long list of possible roads for rehabilitation under RMRP II, and the project is expected to fully disburse by its current closing date of April 30, 2021. 8. Component 1: Rehabilitate, Upgrade and/or Maintain Roads and Bridges. The 17.5 km section of the Hiritano Highway between Inawabui and Bereina was completed in December 2014 under budget and ahead of schedule. An additional one kilometer of road was rehabilitated and maintained through the cost savings. Routine maintenance of a critical 67 km section of the Hiritano Highway was successfully completed in January 2014. A second contract to reseal 56 km of the Hiritano Highway between Malalaua to Epo is underway and works are about 70 percent complete. This contract is expected to be completed by August 2016. 9. A GoPNG priority is to rehabilitate the 53 km East Cape Road in Milne Bay Province. Bids from eight firms were received, and on November 2, 2015 the Bank provided its no objection to the bid evaluation report and recommended award. This contract was recently approved by GoPNG’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and mobilization is expected by June 2016. A second contract to rehabilitate a 24 km section of road in Central Province was also recently approved by NEC and mobilization is also expected by June 2016. 10. The designs and preparation of bid documents to rehabilitate two other roads are underway. 11. Component 2: Technical Assistance. Progress to pilot a performance-based road maintenance contract (PBC) has been steady. A 112 km section of the Hiritano Highway has been identified, and the scope of works, service levels, and arrangements for implementing the pilot PBC agreed. The tender is expected to be launched in mid-2016 with works commencing in early-2017. 12. As a result of ongoing rehabilitation works on the Hiritano Highway, women from local communities have been employed in a variety of jobs, including to direct traffic along sections of road that are under rehabilitation, and as cooks and cleaners in work camps. They will also be employed under the project through community-based, routine roadside maintenance contracts. A contract to carry out socio-economic surveys (SESs) to monitor the project’s impact on beneficiary communities will get underway in early-January 2016. This will be followed by two additional SESs at the mid-point and end of the project. 13. Component 3: Contingency for Disaster Risk Response. This provisional zero-cost component will support preparedness and rapid response in the event of a disaster, an emergency, and/or catastrophic events. To date, this option has not been triggered. 14. Project Performance. Progress towards Achieving the PDO and Overall Implementation Progress have been rated Moderately Satisfactory or Satisfactory since September 2011. 2 15. The proposed works and project activities are expected to be completed within RMRP II’s closing date of April 30, 2021, and the Borrower continues to have sufficient capacity for implementation. 16. Compliance with safeguards requirements as described in the Environmental and Social Management Framework and Land Acquisition and Resettlement Policy Framework has been satisfactory, and to date there have been no negative impacts in relation to the road works financed under the RMRP II. Safeguards capacity at the implementing agency has improved through the addition of two staff to DoW’s Environmental Management Unit. 17. RMRP II is in compliance with Bank procurement and financial management policies, as well as all legal covenants. There are no outstanding audits and no audit qualifications for RMRP II. 18. However, the implementing agency for RMRP II (DoW) was also responsible for implementing the now closed Building a More Climate Resilient Transport Sector Project (MCRP) (P129322), and this project has overdue financial audits for 2013 and 2014. Since DoW is responsible for the financial management of project funds and the submission of audited financial statements and accompanying audit reports for MCRP, the Team sought clearance to restructure RMRP II from the Practice Manager for Financial Management and the Division Manager for Loan Operations. This request, which was supported by the Country Management Team, was approved on January 30, 2016. C. PROPOSED CHANGES 19. Change in Results Framework. Because GoPNG will no longer provide its full counterpart contributions to the project, which were estimated to be US$40.50 million, the target values for PDO Indicator 1 - “km of roads rehabilitated” - will be modified.

According to the internal records from Papua New Guinea Department of Works, it has shown that over Two Hundred and Eighty (285) bridges, fords (causeways) and major culverts were damaged by flood action alone in the last Five years. That is at a rate of 57 bridges in a year and this result is very staggering. Bridge damages have been observed to be mainly at the bridge foundations. More specifically, the flooding waters erode the bridge abutments, scour the bridge piers and weaken the bridge’s resistance against the flood loads and eventually destroy the bridge.

  • 106 Rufus Pech the DEPARTMENT of ARCHIVES and ARCHIVAL
    106 Rufus Pech THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND ARCHIVAL STUDY CENTER Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea, Lae Ca. 1970 the decision was made to microfilm all documents referring to the Lutheran Mission enterprise in PNG from its inception in 1886 to the present. Almost a decade of preparatory work elapsed before Dr. G.O. Reitz came back from a IAMS conference in Rome with an overall plan for the implementation of this project with the systematic filming of all archival documents held in Lae, PNG, and supplementary filming in West Germany, the USA and Australia. The overseas partners of the E.L.C. PNG based in those countries have provided the modest budget required for this project to the present time. 1. The Organization of the Archival Materials The missionary history of the church falls into 5 easily definable periods which makes chronological organization of the materials comparatively easy. a. 1885 to 1919: The German Pioneer Mission Period Most of the materials of this period were filmed at Neuendettelsau in Bavaria for the Morobe Province and in Nordrhein-Westfalen for the Rhenish Mission work in the Madang Province. The originals - in Gothic script or from typed copy - consisted of missionary quarterly reports, letters and a few diaries plus the official correspondence of the Mission Senior (Johann Flierl) with the directorate and the reports of all missionary meetings and conferences. This reporting continued throughout World War I and a surprising amount of it eventually reached the German mission societies. b.1920 to I930: The Decade of the First Lutheran Mission Nezv Guinea under Australian Directorship As a follow-up to the rescue operation mounted from Australia and by US Lutherans both of the German mission fields were administered in trust by director Otto Theile of Brisbane for the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Australia and the Iowa Synod in the USA with headquarters in Dubuque.

    Low Emission Land Use Planning for Madang Province: Options and Opportunities Written by: Roy Banka, Sarah Stocks, Peter Stephen, Kevin Brown, Thuy Phung, John Pena and Alexandre Grais June 2015 USAID Lowering Emissions in Asia’s Forests (USAID LEAF) www.leafasia.org Forward by the Governor of Madang Madang Province is blessed with tremendous biological and cultural diversity, from some of PNG’s largest mountains and rivers, to the coasts, and to the many beautiful islands of the province. One hundred and seventy-five languages are spoken by our 600,000 citizens scattered across six districts. “Beautiful Madang”, as it’s known in Papua New Guinea and internationally, has become a tourist destination for visitors from across the globe hoping to experience our unique and globally significant environment. As the Governor of Madang, it’s the responsibility of my government to ensure that such a blessing of natural resources given by God is managed responsibly, so that it provides for the needs of the current citizens of Madang as well as our future generations. An effective and sustainable land use planning process will allow our valuable natural resources to be sustainably developed for our economic prosperity with positive and long-lasting social and environmental outcomes for all. It is the responsibility of my government to provide infrastructure development and the provision of better education and health services. But in the development process, there are risks and challenges. My government recognizes these and is working in close collaboration with local, provincial and international stakeholders and partners to address these challenges. Climate change will increase the challenges, but we are now exploring low carbon development pathways for a green economy, of which land use planning is a fundamental step.
