World Bank Team in Western Province

A delegation from the World Bank including representatives of the government and the city council is currently visiting Gizo, Noro and Munda.

The visit is to see update and the progress of work done so far by CAUSE Project. Since the Covid 19 period such visit was not possible so it is a privilege for the team to see what’s happening on the ground but also to meet with the Western Provincial Government and its stakeholders, a statement from CAUSE said.

Since establishment of CAUSE Project in Western Province four years ago especially in Noro, Munda and Gizo there are lot of improvements especially on footpaths, stairways, new markets and many more.

The Project has helped many unemployed youths on the training provided by the project but also on the short-term employment opportunities the project provided.

The World Bank team will be visiting Noro and Munda today. Team will visit Auki next week.

CAUSE is funded by the World Bank and the Australian Government through the PNG and Pacific Islands Umbrella Facility Multi-donor trust fund.
