Papua New Guinea is prone to disasters, both natural and man-made. In the recent months, the country had to deal with the effects of droughts caused by the onset of El Nino.
The National Disaster Centre, in partnership with the University of Papua New Guinea, have partnered in providing training on how to deal with disasters.
This episode features the graduation of eighty-three participants graduating with a certificate in Careful Hazards and Risk Management.
Also on this episode… since being granted the autonomous status in 2005, the Autonomous Region of Bougainville has been working to have most functions brought back to the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG); among these, the ownership and regulation of the mineral sector.
In April 2015, the Bougainville Mining Act was passed in the House of Representatives and took effect, paving the way for the Bougainvillian Government to shoulder the responsibility of monitoring activities relating to mining on the island.
Resources PNG was in the region recently and spoke to the ABG President, Chief Dr John Momis, about the effects of this specific legislation.
