Local Governance Capacity Building Initiative
The DPLGA has launched a new initiative aimed at strengthening local governance across Papua New Guinea. This capacity-building initiative focuses on training local government officers in leadership, financial management, and project implementation. By enhancing the skills of local leaders, the program seeks to improve service delivery and governance practices at the community level. The initiative also includes a mentorship component, where experienced officials provide guidance to newer leaders to foster development and ensure effective governance.
Community Health Outreach Program
The Department of Provincial and Local Government Affairs, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, launched a new Community Health Outreach Program aimed at bringing vital healthcare services to rural and underserved communities. The program provides free health check-ups, vaccinations, and educational workshops on hygiene and disease prevention. The outreach program is designed to reduce health disparities and ensure that every citizen has access to the care they need, regardless of their location.

Provincial Infrastructure Development Fund
The Provincial Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) continues to provide critical funding to support infrastructure projects across Papua New Guinea. Recent grants have enabled local governments to improve road networks, build new schools, and enhance water and sanitation systems. These projects aim to boost economic growth and improve living conditions in rural and urban areas. Local government officials are encouraged to submit proposals for future projects under the fund, with a focus on sustainability and long-term impact.
