Assessment of Governance and Service Delivery in the Southern Highlands Province
Joseph Dorpor
Abstract
This article provides results of fieldwork investigations into governance and service delivery in the Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. Although the investigations were conducted in 2004, many of the issues continue to exist. The article takes us on a trip from Mount Hagen to Ialibu, Imbongu, Mendi, Nipa, Margarima, Dauli and Tari. Written as a first hand account by the then advisor to the Ministry of Inter Government Relations, the article provides grass-roots insights to conditions of police, hospitals, schools, housing, water and power supplies, correctional services, law and order, magisterial services, women’s resource centre and district offices.
