Microfinance Expansion Project (MEP)

3,005 graduate in financial literacy

Implemented by the Bank of PNG, 3,005 locals from across the four LLGs and wards of the district underwent a savings and budgeting module which will enable them to make wiser choices with their finances.

A graduation ceremony was held in Vanimo Town and was attended by Bank of PNG representatives, the Centre for Excellence in Financial Inclusion (CEFI), stakeholders from the finance and banking sector and the provincial government.

Project director of the MEP, George Awap, congratulated the Vanimo locals on their achievement.
