  • 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.

  • Comments on Sorcery in Papua New Guinea
    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 .
