It lies approximately ten (10) kilometres north of the Wabag to Porgera Road and the Surunki Government Station and approximately fifty (50) kilometres northwest of the Provincial capital, Wabag. Travel time to Wabag is about one hour by all-weather road. The anticipated catchment population for the proposed Community Health Post to be built at Tukusanda is 6180 based upon an extrapolation of the population living in the immediate area according to the 2011 Census. Of that population 1825 are women of child bearing age, 1. Two (2) representatives of the Kulyapan Sub Clan of the Mulapine Clan living in and around Tukusanda village signed a Customary Land Transfer Agreement on 15th March, 2013 with the Enga Provincial Administration to authorising construction of a Community Health Post on their land. The Agreement was a demonstration of good intent by the parties on the understanding that the parcel of land for the Community Health Post, known locally as Tukusanda, would eventually be alienated to the State and that the customary owners would be compensated for its unimproved capital value and the replacement value of any structures, trees or crops once surveying once Provincial Government and Department of Lands and Physical Planning processes were completed. 2. The land offered as the site for construction of the Community Health Post is now described as Portion 264C Milinch of Laiagam, Fourmil Wabag, Lagaip-Porgera District, Enga Province and is deemed suitable and sufficient (0.70 hectares) for the construction of a Community Health Post and three staff houses. 3.

The catchment population of 6180 is presently required to travel to the nearest District Hospital in Laiagam for serious ailments or, more likely, to the Wabag General Hospital which is up to one (1) hours travel time. 6. Officers of the Provincial Administration and Provincial Health Authority and the Rural Primary Health Service Delivery Project followed both Government of PNG and standard ADB safeguards processes including extensive consultation with the local community, use of applicable National land laws and regulations, and due diligence to ensure that local people would not experience significant adverse impacts by relinquishing this land. 7.
