| Description | The program involves upgrading and rehabilitation of airports identified under project 1: (i) Wewak, (ii) Hoskins, (iii) Gurney, (iv) Mt. Hagen, and (v) Jackson's domestic airport.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Civil aviation (i) supports the socioeconomic development of the country by providing safe, efficient, reliable, sustainable, and affordable aviation services and infrastructure; (ii) gives all weather access to the country and increases the mobility of communities; and (iii) serves important community needs by making noncommercial destinations more accessible. Capacity constraints and deteriorating infrastructure, however, threaten the safety certification of the airports and place these socioeconomic objectives at risk. The CAA's well articulated sector development plan (Civil Aviation Authority. 2008. Strategic Investment Plan. Port Moresby) addresses the risks, but the agency needs help in carrying out the plan and meeting obligations. External funding to rehabilitate and upgrade the national airports will support the Government's Medium Term Development Strategy (MTDS) objectives of economic growth, rural development, poverty reduction, and human resource development. | ||||||||||||

| Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation | |
| During Project Design | An initial extensive program of consultation has taken place. During the project preparatory technical assistance fact-finding stage, a stakeholder analysis was carried out to identify the major important stakeholders, their interest in the proposed program, their perceptions of current problems related to safety and security associated with airport operations, passenger terminal logistics, and civil aviation services, and the resources they could bring to the achievement of goals and objectives of the program. Meetings have been held at the national level with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Ministry of Transport (MOT), the Deptartment of National Planning and Monitoring, the Deptartment of Treasury, Air Niugini Airlines, Airlines of PNG, PNG Air Services Ltd., PNG Airports Ltd., and the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and its Transport Sector Support Program (TSSP). |
| During Project Implementation | There is continuing dialogue and consultation with all stakeholders through the Project Steering Committee Meetings held semi-annually. Regular monthly meetings are also held between the Executing Agency and PIU staff of ADB Country Office parallel to consulatations held at higher level and lower levels of the Government bureacracy associated with the project. |
