Australian High Commission in Papua New Guinea Launches Empowering Construction and Engineering Graduate Program for Women


The Australian High Commission in Papua New Guinea recently announced the commencement of the Construction and Engineering Graduate Program for Women in 2023. The program aims to empower women by providing hands-on experience in delivering Australian-funded infrastructure projects as part of Australia's Economic and Social Infrastructure Program.

Four women have been selected to participate in the two-year program, gaining valuable experience in critical electrification upgrades, market redevelopments, and the construction of a new health facility. Marsha Aruani, a recent graduate of the Bachelor of Architecture program at the PNG University of Technology, expressed her enthusiasm for the program, stating, "Every day I am learning so many new things."

Ms. Aruani highlighted some of her experiences in the program, including using new technical tools, designing layouts for solar battery generation systems, interpreting construction drawings, and participating in stakeholder coordination meetings. She expressed her honor and privilege in contributing to a team dedicated to delivering infrastructure services to areas, places, and people in need.

The program acknowledges the increasingly significant role of women in construction and engineering in Papua New Guinea. Its goal is to equip graduates with the skills and knowledge to support PNG's development, drive the growing economy, and facilitate Australia's investments in critical economic and social infrastructure across PNG.

The four participants in the Construction and Engineering Graduate Program for Women are Amanda Kiap, Esther Isimel, Marsha Aruani, and Janal Numapo. Their involvement reflects a commitment to gender diversity and the advancement of women in the construction and engineering sectors.

The program represents a key initiative in the #PNGAusPartnership, demonstrating a collaborative effort between Australia and Papua New Guinea to foster sustainable development and economic growth through investment in infrastructure and the empowerment of women in these critical fields.

Sack the Minister: SME Corruption Exposes Theft of Public Money

Picture Supplied Sack the Minister: SME Corruption Exposes Theft of Public Money By: Hon. James Nomane  Thursday, 25 June 2026 Papua New Guinea New Guinea's small and medium enterprise programme — conceived to lift ordinary citizens out of poverty and build a productive private sector — has been comprehensively pillaged. Thanks to whistleblowers, the Opposition has received documentary evidence that reveals a pattern of fraud, cronyism, and kleptocracy so brazen that it demands immediate criminal investigation and the sacking of the responsible Minister. Whilst the country has missed out on SME support as a priority program under the Marape government, the hundreds of millions in budget appropriation in every budget cycle have gone to the hands of a few: relatives, cronies, and political allies. Funding that could have grown the economy has been sadly consumed by the “kaikai man”. The evidence is damning, documented, and undeniable. Payment registers obtained by ...

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective  From Dr Clement Wane PhD (Not Dr John Kuimb, Allan Bird or Justin Parker) Dr Clement Waine. My Views on the Gold Bullion Bill: These are my own views without reading the profiles of any of the companies involved, the draft bill, or the arguments (for and against) surrounding the bill. 1. PNG owned 22.5% of Lihir and 22.5% of Porgera and Mekere sold them in 2001. 2. Consequently, for the last 22yrs, the State of PNG had no recourse to the revenue of the sale of gold or the actual productions (i.e. gold bars); 3. ⁠We sold our interests in Lihir and Porgera for pittance (that’s a different discussion if you folks want to have it!) 4. ⁠For 2022 years PNGeans were happy! 5. ⁠Nobody complained! 6. ⁠The Lihir and Porgera mines are very lucrative gold mines in the world and Barrick and Newcrest had a field day over these mines in the last 22 years and nobody claimed their gold productions were PNG’s assets!...
