HOPE worldwide PNG Joins Health partners to review the PNG TB Caucus Advocacy Plan.

HOPEww PNG participated in a high-level workshop from March 16-20 to review the 2023–2024 Advocacy Plan for the PNG TB Caucus.
With 46,000 Papua New Guineans suffering from TB annually, the message from the National Department of Health is clear: this is a national emergency. It will take an "all-of-society" approach and immense political will to STOP TB in PNG.

The PNG TB Caucus is currently a volunteer-led committee, driven by parliamentary leaders who are making TB a top priority:
● Chair: Hon. Powes Parkop, Governor of NCD.
● Support Champion: Hon. Robert Naguri, Member for Bogia District and Chair of the Special Parliamentary Committee on Health Matters.

Governor Parkop spoke passionately about the burden of the disease in the capital. He announced NCD’s bold plans to institutionalize the response by building a dedicated TB Hospital/Center with the ultimate goal of eliminating TB in NCD. He challenged stakeholders to develop a realistic, costed strategy that can be implemented effectively.

Hon. Naguri also shared the progress of TB response efforts within the Bogia District, demonstrating how local leadership can drive change on the ground.

Mr. Warren Entsch, Vice President of Global TB Caucus, reminded us of a simple but powerful truth: TB IS CURABLE. He emphasized the importance of:
1. Diagnosis: Ensuring every citizen knows how to access testing and treatment.
2. Citizen Advocacy: Our right and responsibility to inform elected leaders about the reality of health service delivery.
3. Media Influence: The vital role of the media in capturing the attention of decision-makers.

As a member of the Global TB Caucus network, the PNG TB Caucus is a powerful mechanism to inspire political will to end TB. HOPEww PNG is proud to stand with our leaders and key partners to ensure that every Papua New Guinean has access to TB services and live healthy, productive lives.

Standing Together Against Violence in PNG 🕊️

From March 9–12, 2026, HOPE worldwide PNG staff joined clinical teams and faith leaders in Port Moresby for a workshop addressing Gender-based violence (GBV) and Sorcery-accusation related violence (SARV).

Organized by Christian Health Services (CHS), the event served as a call to action for faith-based organizations to lead the way in creating safer communities.

Key Highlights:

A Unified Front: Reverend Arua Morea (PNG Council of Churches) reminded us that violence "disturbs peace, hurts, disables, kills and prevents the growth of our church"

The EDEN program by CHS will be rolled out in communities as a community-level service delivery tool to address GBV and SARV at the ward level.

Frontline Faith: CHS staff shared powerful stories of using faith to de-escalate conflict and broker peace on the frontlines of conflict areas.

This workshop was supported by the PNG-Australia Law and Justice Partnership Community Justice Project.
