Exciting progress for Lae!

A high level World Bank delegation recently visited the Lae Main Market redevelopment site!

Funded in partnership with the Lae City Authority, Australia, and New Zealand, this massive project is doing so much more than building a market, it has already employed over 150 Papua New Guineans.

In addition, this project has been working closely with Urban Youth Employment Project (UYEP) under Lae City Authority (LCA) to provide hands on construction training for local youth, equipping them with practical skills and work experience for future employment.
