Papua New Guinea needs reliable national transport networks to unlock its economic potential. The majority of the country’s population lives in rural or remote areas. Better connectivity will give them access to social services and places where new economic opportunities thrive.
ADB is working with the government and its development partners to refurbish and build new roads, bridges, ports, and airports across Papua New Guinea. Working with ADB provides access to technical support, policy development, and concessional financing for long-term transport projects.
“Connecting Papua New Guinea through Reliable Transport Networks” is the last installment in the Papua New Guinea-ADB partnership video series. The series presents ADB’s contributions to the development of Papua New Guinea’s energy, health, and transport sectors, as well as its drive for financial inclusion and private sector-led development.
ADB and Papua New Guinea have been working together since 1971. And the partnership continues to grow.
