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 Standards, 2011 and is required primarily to provide maternal and child primary health services to remote rural populations. Provision is also made for supervised 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 clients. A odest Poedue ‘oo is poided to allo eergency care 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 West New Britain Provincial Health Authority has prioritised Wako as one of the localities in which to construct a new Community Health Post under Output 4 of the Project. Wako Village is located on the southwest coast of the West New Britain in the Kandrian Gloucester District and is inaccessible by road from the Provincial capital, Kimbe. Motorised dinghies are the most common form of transport in the area. Wako is in the Kandrian Coastal Rural Local Level Government (LLG) area. The nearest Health Centre for the Wako Couity Health Posts efeals is the Health Centre at Pililo which is located on an island 63 kilometres west along the coast. The nearest functioning Hospital is the Kimbe Provincial Hospital which is on the north coast and up to 24 hours away by motorised dinghy dependent upon weather and sea conditions. Critical medical evacuations from the proposed Wako Community Health Post are likely to be effected by chartered helicopter. Wako Community Health Post is expected to serve up to 8000 people living in the near vicinity. The present Wako Aid Post had a projected catchment population of 4356 at the end of 2013 based upon an extrapolation of the 2011 Census and it is expected that people presently accessing other nearby Aid Posts will seek their future health care needs from the new CHP at Wako. Demand for maternal and child health services to be offered by the Community Health Post will mostly be derived from the estimated 636 children less than 5 years of age and 937 women of child bearing age living in the immediate area. The proposed site for the Community Health Post is known locally as Wakoand is registered as Portion 399C, Milinch of Mio, Fourmil of Arawe, Kandrian Gloucester District, West New Britain Province. It consists of 1.398 hectares. It is desied i the Lad Iestigatio ‘epot as flat and undulating with rivers restricting the range. An image of the site is included on the cover of this report. 3 The site was selected by the customary owners as most of the Portion has been used for many years as the site of the existing Aid Post. Therefore, the immediate effects on households are insignificant and potential losses from selling the land are not a significant proportion of their livelihoods. Apart from minor disturbances to the environment during construction there are unlikely to be any adverse environmental or socio-economic impacts on the nearby households and they will benefit from the land payments made for the purchase of clan land. 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 12th June, 2015. 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 land was formerly owned by members of the Pairap and Karumbrumung Clans and 4 sub Clans of Samot, Adim, Ulaino and Ouying. The four sub Clans migrated to the area from inland areas many years ago. They happily coexist with the members of the two (2) original Clans and their rights to the land are not contested. The Clan members consented to sell this land to the State through the Land Investigation Report dated 13th February, 2016. Mr. Michael Romoio of the Pairap Clan and Mr. Thomas Yapong of the Karumbrumong Clan are nominated to e ou representatives and agents for the purpose of executing a Transfer/Lease to the Administrator over that piece of land known as Wako containing approximately 1.398 hectares and situated in the District of Kandrian Province of West New Britain and we do authorise(d) the above agents to accept on our behalf all moneys and consideration paid by the said Administrator i oetio ith the poposed Tasfe/Lease of the said piee of lad. The value of the land, improvements and compensation for past occupancy was assessed by the Valuer-General to be K61,700.00. The Certificate of Alienability No. 22/9-2016 was issued by the Secretary of the Department of Provincial and Local Government Affairs on 19th September, 2016. Payment of K61,700.00 was made to the authorised agents by the West New Britain Provincial Administration on behalf of the State in Wako Village on 14th December, 2016. The Deed of Release and the Sale and Transfer documents were signed by the Agents in the presence of Village residents and a Customary Lands Officers of the District and the National Department of Lands & Physical Planning.
