We are bridging the digital divide in Papua New Guinea by bringing better communication and broadband access to rural communities and institutions. Our initiatives focus on improving essential communication tools and building reliable high-speed internet networks for homes, businesses, and public services.
This initiative, supported by a US$15 million partnership with the World Bank, is improving access to vital communication tools. Initially managed by then Papua New Guinea Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Technology Authority (PANGTEL), the project transitioned to National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA) in 2010.
This program is focused on establishing and improving broadband networks across Papua New Guinea, bringing high-speed internet to communities and institutions. Our goal is to provide affordable, reliable broadband access to public institutions, local businesses, and households in selected areas.
Providing direct broadband connections to essential public institutions, such as schools, health facilities, local government offices, and community centres. These centres offer internet access, computers, ICT services, and training to local citizens, empowering them with digital skills.
