Kokoda Initiative supports services

The new infrastructure was funded by the Australian Government under the Initiative, a partnership between Australia and Papua New Guinea to protect the Kokoda Track region and deliver services to its communities.

The new buildings will support more than 272 students and 13 teachers at Efogi, Kavovo and the surrounding villages of Launamu, Kagi, Naduri and Manari.

Teachers at Efogi Primary School will no longer have to conduct elementary classes in the local community hall as has been the case due to inadequate facilities.
