Engagement of non-citizen aid funded technical advisers

NEC approves law to regulate non-citizen advisers

The regulation is to ensure PNG’s sovereignty is protected and respected by expatriate advisers who work in government agencies only.

The new law comes into effect this Thursday, September 1st.

The new arrangements apply to all non-citizens who are currently employed by development contractors and other agencies to provide advisory support.

The agreement creates a link between the adviser and the agency secretary.
