East New Britain Provincial Government (ENBPG)

Land program embraced

The program is jointly facilitated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the PNG Government, through the Conservation and Environment Protection Authority (CEPA), on the New Britain Island.

The FOLUR impact program is funded through the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in its 7th rollout in PNG, and is focused on the two provinces of East and West New Britain.

Vocational students encouraged

Governor Michael Marum and his administration aims to achieve that.

The governor outlined this during the presentation of a school truck to the Raval Vocational Training Centre (RVTC) in the Rakada ward of Reimber Livuan LLG, in Gazelle District.

Marum also acknowledged members of the Provincial Executive Council (PEC) who make decisions on how funds are used, including the support given to schools.
