- Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
ADB's Pacific Strategy (2005-2009) and CSPU for PNG (2005-2006) emphasized on supporting a conducive environment for the private sector. High transportation cost in PNG has widely been recognized as a factor impeding the private sector development. Improved port facilities and capacity expansion will provide improved access to domestic and international markets for the agricultural and mineral products of the hinterland, promoting rural agricultural activities and industrial production. Lae is PNG s commercial 'capital'. It is a major outlet for the Highlands where almost half of the population lives. Increased capacity and services in Lae port , in conjunction with the improved Highlands highways which ADB is supporting, will drive the development of the Highlands. The programming discussions in 2005 between the Government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) identified the development of the Lae port as a potential project for ADB financing, and a project preparatory technical assistance (PPTA) was included in ADB s Country Strategy and Program Update 2005-2006.
