The work is being completed under an MOU signed in July 2018 between Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML) and PNG Civil and Identity Registry (PNGCIR), sponsored by Minister Richard Maru.
A team comprising OTML Community Relations officers, eight PNGCIR registration and data entry supervisors, and local casuals completed one month’s training on the NID registration and data processes.
They then commenced a six-month trial covering employees and residents of Tabubil Township, Mine Area Landowners and 24 CMCA communities along the Tabubil – Kiunga Highway, at a cost of K730,000.
