Abstract:

AbstractThis study explores the potential of Internet-based technology to change the nature of work in the civil service sector in Papua New Guinea (PNG, specifically to contribute towards Organisational Development (OD). Immediately following and one year after an awareness-raising civil service conference on computer-mediated communication and its potential to help develop the workplace, 23 PNG public sector employees who had attended the conference responded to a range of closed and open-ended attitude questions regarding Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). On balance, they reported that in their experience, ICT following the conference had been relatively empowering, had enhanced organisational communication and accountability, and had helped to improve the flow of knowledge within and between public sector groups. In PNG, digital technology might help to facilitate the development of intra- and inter-organisational unit teamwork. To that extent, digital technology in the longer-term may assist not only in OD, but also in the development of capacity more generally.

Abstract:

On 19 October 1995, the Governor-General of Papua New Guinea issued the terms of reference for a Constitutional Review Committee's (CRC) Subcommittee on Media Accountability: to examine ‘whether changes need to be made to ensure that, while freedom of the press is maintained, owners, editors and journalists of all elements of the media are accountable and that persons aggrieved by media abuses have reasonable redress’. The CRC held a public seminar in January 1996 to explore the issues and the Media Council of Papua blew Guinea held a ‘freedom at the crossroads’ seminar the following month. Public responses were overwhelmingly in favour of the traditional ‘free’ press in Papua New Guinea, as guaranteed under Section 46 of the Constitution. The report of the Subcommittee on Media Accountability to Parliament in June 1996 essentially came to the same conclusion. However, the CRC introduced three draft media laws in November which introduced a controversial system involving a Media Commission, registration of journalists, licensing of media organisations and serious penalties for transgressors. The proposed legislation was widely condemned and was eventually shelved in February 1997, A general view is that the media debate was manipulated by a small group of politicians out of self-interest. This paper examines the developments in the context of the erosion of the news media and free expression in the South Pacific generally.

Abstract:

In this paper main objective is to discuss how demand of new provinces is important and what are best policies for government to resolve it? Ethno-lingual movements are rising for new provinces demand because at initial stage these demands were just for rights but with the passage of time changed due to political support. Also in this paper India’s policy for new provinces is discussed to tell that why there are many provinces and less conflict. For Pakistan’s new provinces advantages and disadvantages are briefly deliberated which can provide rationale to Pakistani government for making new provinces. At the end of paper a four tiers model for new provinces is elucidated, that model was used in Papua New Guinea. Pakistan by administration has same structure like Papua New Guinea. According to model there should be an independent commission or entity, Parliament and Ministries role for decision making. However, one day we have to make decision for new provinces either it is done earlier or later. Pakistan government should realign boundaries of all provinces with political consensus .An independent commission should form for new provinces which should frame basic criteria for current and new provinces for a permanent solution. Also it is recommended that a just principle in the form of a policy decision is the need of hour, taking on board all the parties, ensuring the division to satisfy the grievances of all stakeholders. The role of higher education in the progress of a society is indispensable. It shapes up the minds, mold behaviors and develops distinctive capabilities in the human being to serve the society better. Higher Education in the Arab World began to emerge and spread after the mid-twentieth century. There is a dearth of empirical research pertinent to the employee performance in general and employee performance in higher education. This condition had therefore illuminated a significant gap in the education sector of KSA that tends to focus on overall sectoral problems and organizational level problems in respect to job performance. Thus, the present study may contribute to the existing literature on Public Sector Universities in KSA through proposed a research model which has not received much attention.

Abstract:

Primary health service coverage has increased in many developing countries over the last 10 years. The number of components included in the basic package has also expanded. This has led in some countries to primary health workers becoming overloaded with responsibilities. To maintain high quality care, primary health workers not only need appropriate training, but clear performance guidelines, as well as essential resources and supportive supervision. We report on the establishment of standards for primary health services by the Ministry of Health in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Abstract:

Jayapura City is the capital of Papua Province, located at the eastern end of Indonesia and has a direct borders with neighboring countries, Papua New Guinea (PNG). The geographical conditions of Jayapura City are very diverse leads to the formation of separate urban centers. Currently there are two parts of urban centers in Jayapura City, known as Jayapura and Abepura. This situation gave rise to a unique character in the overall system of Jayapura City, so it is necessary to examine how the two urban centers interact in Jayapura City. This study aims to assess the functional linkages that occur between Jayapura and Abepura using the case study method. Data collected through direct observation, secondary data collection and structured interviews using a questionnaire. The results showed that the functional linkages that occurred between Jayapura and Abepura are complementary functions of their natural advantages, and functions that are homogeneous but did not compete in the provision of economic and public service. In this case, the functions homogeneous appearing not cause competition, resulting in a reduction of competition.

Abstract:

This article describes the historic conditions governing newspaper and media ownership in the Pacific. It argues that historically there have been three kinds of media in the Pacific: Mission or church-owned or directed, governmen- owned or directed and commercial. The missions and churches were responsible for the first newspapers aimed exclusively at indigenous populations and in Papua New Guinea have continued to play a key role in the media. The commercial press could only exist when there was a sufficient population to support it and so it tended to appear in those countries with the largest expatriate populations first. The continued dominance of the commercial media by Western companies in the largest islands has been largely due to the cost of producing these commodities. Locally-owned commercial media have been on a much smaller scale, but they have nonetheless had an impact. The national or government-owned or directed media were generally inherited from the departing metropolitan powers and represent a much diluted version of the public service model. While the article argues that the dominance of the commercial press in such markets as PNG, Fiji and New Caledonia by Murdoch and Dassault- Hersant is probably commercially inevitable, it also argues that the media scene in the Pacific is actually remarkably diverse.

Abstract:

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) contribute to the economic development of most developing countries. However, the economic performance of the MSMEs is often restricted by several obstacles. This paper reports on a study of the impacts of public sector corruption on employment growth in MSMEs, as perceived by their managers/owners. The data originated from a nationwide survey that involved MSMEs managers/owners in Papua New Guinea (PNG) that were selected by a stratified random sampling technic. The data was analyzed using a two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression model. The results show that MSME managers/owners perceive that corruption in the public sector is generally linked to an increase in employment growth in their firms. Medium-size enterprises benefit most from corruption in the public sector, whereas small-size firms appear not to benefit. The findings indicate that other than corruption, there might be failures in the public institutions that are hampering the competitiveness, innovations and efficiency in MSMEs. Corrupt practices can precipitate the loss of revenue that would have accrued to the government from tax that could be used to provide facilities required by the public institutions. Corruption in the public institutions of developing countries such as PNG can be tackled by implementing strategies that promote zero-tolerance for corruption. These include promoting public awareness of the cost of corruption to the country’s economy, improvement in the quality of governance, and expanding the capacity of government agencies for effective and efficient service delivery. Increasing the penalty for engaging in corrupt practices could also be considered, while people who engage in practices that discourage corruption should be rewarded. The findings contribute to a potential strategy that could be used to promote ease of doing business in a country by considering the obstacles that MSMEs face.

Abstract:

The 1995 local-level government reforms undertaken in Papua New Guinea (PNG) were largely in response to increasing concern that the public service was failing in its responsibility towards the people. As a result, the 1995 Organic Law on Provincial and Local Governments (OLPLLG) was established. The prime purpose of this was to address this issue through deeper engagement of the lower levels of government, particularly local-level governments (LLGs). Almost two decades on, poor socio-economic conditions and deterioration in infrastructure/services suggest that the proposed change has not materialised. The purpose of this paper is to address the question of whether the lower tiers of government are capable of implementing the development plans under the reforms. The paper finds that the 1995 reforms have made LLGs dependent upon their Joint District Planning and Budget Priorities Committee (JDP & BPC) and their district administration, which have become the main impediment to local government effectiveness. This in turn has greatly hindered LLG capacity and has reinforced unequal relations, rather than assisting service delivery in PNG. There is therefore a need to make LLGs more effective players.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Indonesia is an archipelagic state, which has border with other states on the land, sea, as well as on the air. In the sea, Indonesia has direct borders with ten countries, namely: India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Republic of Palau, Australia, East Timor, and Papua New Guinea. As for the land, Indonesia has direct borders with three countries, namely Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste. As we know, Indonesian people who live in boundary zone are generally in poor conditions with lack of public services, such as: social, transportation and education service and facilities. However, the changing of government paradigm in the last two decades has prompted greater attention to this area. Recently, various government programs are driven to the border region, notably in provinces that have land borders, that is West Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, East Nusa Tenggara, and Papua Provinces. This paper will present about the land management programs in general which carried out in the Indonesia’s border area, for example in Entikong, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan Province, and Motaain, Belu Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The main focus in this paper is the using of remote sensing and drones or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data for supporting those programs. Furthermore, by promote the cooperation with other agencies and encourage community participation in the border zone, those programs can be succeeding in result. The conclusion of the study shows that the utilization of drones and imagery data is the key point of innovation in land management program in order to support the acceleration of sustainable development in the border region. Keywords: Border, Land Management, Drones (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), Remote Sensing, Government Paradigms ABSTRAK Indonesia merupakan negara kepulauan yang berbatasan dengan negara lain baik di darat, laut, maupun di udara. Di laut, Indonesia berbatasan langsung dengan sepuluh negara yaitu: India, Malaysia, Singapura, Thailand, Vietnam, Filipina, Republik Palau, Australia, Timor Leste, dan Papua Nugini. Sedangkan untuk daratan, Indonesia berbatasan langsung dengan tiga negara yaitu Malaysia, Papua Nugini dan Timor Leste. Sebagaimana kita ketahui, masyarakat Indonesia yang tinggal di zona perbatasan umumnya berada dalam kondisi yang memprihatinkan dengan minimnya pelayanan publik, seperti: pelayanan dan fasilitas sosial, transportasi dan pendidikan. Namun, perubahan paradigma pemerintahan dalam dua dekade terakhir telah mendorong perhatian yang lebih besar pada bidang ini. Belakangan ini berbagai program pemerintah didorong ke wilayah perbatasan, terutama di provinsi yang memiliki perbatasan darat, yaitu Provinsi Kalimantan Barat, Kalimantan Timur, Nusa Tenggara Timur, dan Papua. Makalah ini akan memaparkan tentang kegiatan pertanahan secara umum yang dilakukan di wilayah perbatasan Indonesia, yakni di Entikong, Kabupaten Sanggau, Provinsi Kalimantan Barat, dan Motaain, Kabupaten Belu, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Fokus utama dalam makalah ini adalah penggunaan data penginderaan jauh dan drone atau pesawat tak berawak (UAV). Lebih jauh, dengan meningkatkan kerjasama dengan instansi lain dan mendorong partisipasi masyarakat di zona perbatasan, kegiatan pertanahan tersebut dapat berhasil. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah pemanfaatan data drone dan citra merupakan kunci utama inovasi dalam aspek pertanahan guna mendukung percepatan pembangunan berkelanjutan di kawasan perbatasan. Kata kunci: Perbatasan, Pengelolaan Lahan, Drone (Pesawat Udara Tanpa Awak), Penginderaan Jauh, Paradigma

Abstract:

Abstract Background Timely diagnosis and early initiation of life-saving antiretroviral therapy are critical factors in preventing mortality among HIV-infected infants. However, resource-limited settings experience numerous challenges associated with centralised laboratory-based testing, including low rates of testing, complex sample referral pathways and unacceptably long turnaround times for results. Point-of-care (POC) HIV testing for HIV-exposed infants can enable same-day communication of results and early treatment initiation for HIV-infected infants. However, complex operational issues and service integration can limit utility and must be well understood prior to implementation. We explored and documented the challenges and enabling factors in implementing the POC Xpert® HIV-1 Qual test (Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) for early infant diagnosis (EID) as part of routine services in four public hospitals in Myanmar. Methods This sub-study was part of a randomised controlled stepped-wedge trial (Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, number 12616000734460) designed to investigate the impact of POC testing for EID in Myanmar and Papua New Guinea. Infants recruited during the intervention phase underwent POC testing at the participating hospitals as part of routine care. Semi-structured interviews with 23 caregivers, 12 healthcare providers and 10 key informants were used to explore experiences of POC-EID testing. The research team and hospital staff documented and discussed implementation challenges throughout the study. Results Overall, caregivers and healthcare workers were satisfied with the short turnaround time of the POC test. Occasional delays in POC testing were mostly attributable to late receipt of samples by laboratory technicians and communication constraints among healthcare staff. Hospital staff valued technical assistance from the research group and the National Health Laboratory. Despite staff shortages and infrastructure challenges such as unreliable electricity supply and cramped space, healthcare workers and caregivers found the implementation of the POC test to be feasible at pilot sites. Conclusions As plans for national scale-up evolve, there needs to be a continual focus on staff training, communication pathways and infrastructure. Other models of care, such as allowing non-laboratory-trained personnel to perform POC testing, and cost effectiveness should also be evaluated.
