New Porgera Limited (NPL) officially dedicated its new corporate office at Level 5, Pacific MMI Building in Port Moresby to God. The short dedication ceremony and prayer was officiated by Pastor Bernard Tom, alongside Pastor Aloysius Peter and Pastor Spruth Anderson from Debeinis Living Water Ministry.

During the service, Pastor Bernard Tom reminded the team that the real commitment comes from the people working inside the building, not the structure itself. Serving NPL for the betterment of Papua New Guinea is an important calling for the whole NPL workforce.

The Port Moresby office, led by Country Manager Ms. Karo Maha, manages government relations at all levels, handles regulatory compliance and maintains key institutional partnerships that help to ensure the Porgera mine continues to deliver long-term benefits to Porgera, Enga Province and to Papua New Guinea.

Building momentum for gender equality and social inclusion in Papua New Guinea’s public sector!

We have successfully wrapped up Day 1 of the Strongim Stretpla Pasin initiative with the Department of Labour and Industrial Relations (DLIR).

Funded by the through the Australia-Papua New Guinea Economic Partnership (APEP) and facilitated by the Business Coalition for Women (BCFW), this program is focused on creating practical, sustainable progress for Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) within the department.

Day 1 set a strong foundation for co-creating a tailored GESI assessment tool and action plan:
🔹 Clear Objectives: Defining project scope and aligning our efforts to support and strengthen GESI principles, policies, and workplace practices.
🔹 Change Management: Exploring the case for change and change complexity.
🔹 Stakeholder Mapping & Alignment: Identifying key barriers—from cultural perceptions around leadership to process execution—and mapping out pathways to build lasting in-house capability.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, this initiative uses a strengths-based model of appreciative inquiry and co-creation. By working side-by-side with the DLIR team, we are ensuring the organisation truly owns the tools, frameworks, and action plans moving forward.

A big thank you to all the leaders and participants from DLIR for their active engagement, open insights, and commitment to driving meaningful change. We look forward to taking these valuable inputs into the next phases of planning and implementation!

When mothers are forced to choose between feeding their babies and earning an income, is it really a choice at all?

BCFW and IFC Childcare research (2024) show that 13% of working parents are concerned about childcare arrangement, especially breastfeeding.

Paid maternity leave is not a privilege. It is an investment in the health, wellbeing, and future of families.
