GOVERNOR VISITS CITY MISSION 091023

CITY Mission PNG has been spreading the love of God and meeting human needs for almost 30 years now, the Mission began as a Ministry for street boys and has continued to grow and adapt to the challenging social and spiritual needs of Papua New Guinea.

Headquartered in the capital city of Port Moresby, City Mission through the New Life Skills Training Centre (NLSTC) a core program of the Ministry is , the farm at Sebore outside of Port Moresby that is used to house juvenile trainees at a time including a plantation in Lae that can house around 130.

On the Wednesday the 04th of October 2023, returning back to Port Moresby from the Kibogoro Cooperative Society Ltd launch in the Rigo District, Central Governor Rufina Peter made an impromptu stop over at by Sebore City Mission NLSTC program.

Central Governor Rufina Peter was met by City Mission General Manager Gerald Bengesser and longtime Program Manager Magalu Danagi who came through the City Mission Program and is now a respected leader among the juvenile’s housed at Sebore.

“Right now we have an occupancy of 154-155 we just graduated 29 today and got on board another lot so its full occupancy, the ones that come are late juvenile’s some even come directly off the streets into our care.” said Bengesser.

The Central Governor Rufina Peter also got the opportunity to address the juvenile’s and interact, she was posed a question about the overseas seasonal workers program and how youths can be a part of this.

“I do have a program I am running but right now after what was being said in Parliament by Sir Peter Ipatas, in which 30 of his workers have not been paid and are laid off has posed some concern on the program, we need to do it properly, we can’t have our people travel to another country and then face issues like this so I will be closely monitoring this.” Governor Peter stated.

For almost 30 years the City Mission has carried out its work without any Government support, Program Manager Magalu Danagi was very emotional when he asked the Governor Rufina Peter to represent the young men on the floor of parliament.

“I came through this system it saved my life, as my Governor I want to ask if you can talk on behalf of these young people on the floor of parliament to see if City Mission can get some kind of assistance in some sort of way.”

Governor Peter in her reply promised to look into the matter for some form of solution for assistance, following her address the Governor was taken on a tour of the workshop where in phase three of the program young men are crafting and making pre-fabricated desks and seats for schools an initiative of the Rotary Club of PNG and the City Mission.

CENTRAL GOVERNOR LAUNCHES KIBOGORO COOPERATIVE SOCIETY 051023
PRESS RELEASE

IMUAGORO village in the Rigo District of the Central Province came alive yesterday in welcoming the Governor for Central Province Rufina Peter and newly appointed CEO for PNG Cocoa Board Jesse Anjen.

The duo including two members from the Central Province Executive Council responsible for Agriculture, and Commerce, and PNG Cocoa Board officials were there to officially witness and launch the Kibogoro Cooperative Society Ltd and launch the Cocoa Seedling Nursery.

Samson Gaire the Cocoa Board Coordinator of Rigo and Abau District who is also the Chairman of Kibogoro Cooperative Society Limited gave a brief on the vision, mission and goal of the cocoa nursery project. His Cooperative Society successfully nurtured 10, 000 cocoa seedling and he aims to support not just only Imuagoro village but the entire Rigo district with the supply of Cocoa seeds especially Rigo Central.

“I’ve been always pushing for Cocoa, I started this work as a volunteer without pay, I graduated but I did not think about getting paid, I wanted to push cocoa though volunteerism, so I started this voluntary work though the church and I wanted to help the church towards giving that was the main objective, so I was given the opportunity to support the East Central Region of the United Church and that is where I started. I don’t see this as an employment because I started my work with cocoa as a volunteer so I do everything with my heart, so even with or without funds I do my best to get things done so people can see the results.”

In one of his first visits to a rural community PNGCB CEO Mr. Anjen spoke on the message of hope and future for the community and Central Province.

“We need to graduate more people like Samson here and get more people to come in this space and do more for Cocoa, there is plenty of opportunities, Cocoa is only one pathway we can help you look after yourselves, more importantly the future lies in the kids we have here, let me take this time to thank the school kids that are here because what we are doing today here is for you. So you may be wondering why cocoa? Cocoa is a cash crop so it’s one of the options that you can take up, if you plant cocoa you don’t need to work for other people you work for yourself when your cocoa matures and it is ready, the land here is prime its good soil, we will send our officers here to assist you how to nursery them, now that you have these nursery here we want more people to be engaged and I like the initiative and cocoa board will stand by you.”

PNGCB through CEO Mr. Anjen pledged and committed to assist the Kibogoro Cooperative Society Ltd with a K10, 000 cocoa fermenter drier and bud wood garden which are short lengths of young branches with buds prepared for grafting on to the rootstock of another plant he also called on the people to listen to the leaders of the Cooperative Society and work together.

In her official remarks Central Governor Rufina Peter spoke of her vision and mission for Agriculture and Tourism to be the main focal points with Human Development in rebuilding Central Province to being a leader in nation building throughout the country.

“I must say to realize this vision we must be intentional and conscious about how we design what we want to do, it’s not going to happen by chance or by mistake we have to be intentional about it and we need to consciously design what we want to do to get to where we want to be. So this today is a demonstration of that in that the community here having been intentional to see increase and diversify your revenue sources by bringing in cocoa as the new crop, cocoa is not something you used to grow, but now you have made that conscious and it was and intentional decision.”

Governor Peter also commended the leadership of young Samson Gaire, who said he was an inspiration and encouraged the young people present to rise up.

CENTRAL GOVERNOR OPENS IGFAR 021023
PRESS RELEASE

The annual Intergovernmental Financing Arrangement Review (IGFAR) Consultative Workshop for Southern Region hosted by the National Economic Fiscal Commission (NEFC) was officially opened today (Monday 2nd October) by keynote speaker and Governor for Central Province Honorable Rufina Peter.

The West New Britain and the Eastern Highlands Provinces are also participants having missed their respective Regional Consultative Workshops.

IGFAR’s have been an annual event until COVID hit in 2019, after which no reviews where held until this year. The review of the current intergovernmental financing arrangements is part of the National Government's priority and agenda to support the
decentralization reforms.

The IGFA Review will focus on the financing arrangements, mechanisms and systems to identify key issues and impediments and make policy recommendations to the National Government for an appropriate fiscal decentralization system. The Provincial & Local Level Service Monitoring Authority (PLLSMA) at its meeting in
Lae on 23rd & 24th September 2020 had established a PLLSMA subcommittee on IGFARb and endorsed the National Economic & Fiscal Commission (NEFC) and the Department
of Treasury to Chair and co-chair respectively.

The PLLSMA sub-committee has been established and this team is comprised of very senior officers from Central Agencies
and key National Departments and Agencies.

In his speech on the workshop overview, CEO of NEFC and Chairman of PLLSA Sub-Committee on IGFAR, Mr. Patrick Painap expressed his gratitude to all the participants who came from all over the Southern Region including EHP and WNB Provinces. He
made special mention of the Central Governor’s attendance and that of the founding Chairman and former CEO of NEFC, Dr. Nao Badu.

“I would like to extend my appreciation to the Governor of Central Province Hon. Rufina Peter and her officers and the Central
Provincial Administration staff, whose presence highlights the significance of this important occasion, I also wish to take the opportunity to acknowledge the founding Chairman/CEO of NEFC, Dr. Nao Badu whom I have engaged in this review process to
assist us in our deliberations."

The CEO of NEFC also emphasized that the IGFA system is based on a set of principles that almost every country in the world today has some form of decentralized system of Government.

“For the system to work effectively, certain principles and
practices must be in place. In PNG, this is no different when it comes to decentralization and Intergovernmental Financing. The principles that must guide our funding arrangements include; (i) Funding Follows Functions- recurrent activities that are
delegated by sectors to be performed at the sub-national governments, (ii) Equalization- Functional Grants (FG) is allocated according to fiscal capacity, (iii) Cost- how much does it cost to deliver priority services in each province?, Capacity- Does the
Government have the capacity to provide the funds?, and Performance- Does Provincial spending support service delivery?”

NEFC CEO Mr. Painap then highlighted the Commission’s mandatory responsibilities which is performed by four main activities that are essential to address IGFA:
• Determining annual Function Grants, allocated to Provincial and LLGs
• Costing of bare minimum service delivery obligations, - Costs of services
• Monitoring Annual Provincial Expenditures through expenditure review
• Yearly regional Consultative workshops for monitoring and reporting.

He went on to disclose that in a comparative analysis, in 2009 when IGFA was first introduced, a total of K135 Million was distributed as Functional Grants to the sectors at the sub-national level within a span of 14 years, this amount has increased to K770
Million, an increase at the rate of 10% each year on average. Additionally, there has been an increase of about K7 Billion in GST revenue to Provinces since 2009. Core Sectors given priority since 2009 include; Health-K1.2 Billion, Infrastructure-K1.7 Billion
and Education-K1.3 Billion

In introducing the Keynote Speaker, Dr. Badu informed the participants of Governor Peter’s knowledge and experience of systems of Government given her background in the Public Service.

Upon addressing the workshop participants, Governor Peter said,

“This important occasion marks a very significant strike, towards a stronger a more equitable future for Papua New Guinea”.

She asked the participants to reflect on the broader development context; taking into account the Vision 2050 and DSP 2030 and the respective timeframes of 25 years and 5 years from 2025 which is only 2 years away, the year when the country
commemorates 50 years (Golden Jubilee) anniversary as an independent nation. As such, “time is of essence, thus review of the financial mechanisms and systems and improved performance of the roles and responsibilities is needed in order to contribute
to the realization of the desired development outcomes encapsulated in these overarching development plans.
In addition, Governor Peter asked the participants to increase the timeframe of focus
from annual reviews to include the next 50 years in preparation to lay the foundations now for the next 50 years from 2025, in the context of this significant milestone for the country in 2025 which is only two years away.

“The reviews that we are having now is timely, but I don’t think the review should be limited to an annual review, I believe, we should have a longer term focus with the objective of establishing strong foundations in the broader development architecture as
we focus on the area of intergovernmental financial arrangements. The questions we should include; what has broken down since 1975, what have we done in between 1975 and 2023? and what lessons have we learned what are the foundations do we need to lay now in leading up to our 50 years so that our systems mechanism, structures are conducive to producing the development outcomes that our people deserve going
forward.”

Governor Peter also spoke and challenged the workshop participants about reforms such as the 1995 reforms that transferred functions without the funding derailing the
Provincial Governments ability to effectively perform its service delivery mandate. She also mentioned the misaligned in planning and budgets brought about by the introduction of District Development Authorities.

“So while we have the intention to improve service delivery, we must take time now to look at the structures, mechanisms
and systems and be informed by the lessons of the past and the prevalent and project environment to make recommendation going forward.”

“So for you coming here to look at the specific area where this review captures which is strengthening the financial system for greater empowerment, sustainable development and economic growth, realize that this is a component of a broader development
architecture, so view strengthening the financial system as an integral part of the broader review process.”

Following her speech Governor Peter officially opened the five day workshop which will conclude tomorrow Friday 06th of October 2023.

GOVERNOR GIVES TO CENTRAL CRC YOUTH 280923
PRESS RELEASE

CENTRAL Governor Rufina Peter took time out this morning to officially open and present K7, 000, to the Central Province CRC Youth Convention at new land, Laloki in the Vanapa Brown LLG, Hiri Koiari District.

More than 600 (six hundred) youth from the 5 districts in the Central Province have converged at Laloki, to pray, worship and listen to spiritual instruction at the CRC CPY Convention.

Gideon Muduka Central Province CRC Churches Council Chairman said this is a breakthrough for any Government member Parliament or dignitary to visit the youth like this at their level which is paving the way for a new Central.

“The youth space is important because much of the problems that exist today are created by young people, and if I can recall this is the second time the good madam Governor Rufina Peter has been present, the first time was at a church opening and this is now the second time, we have been talking about a new Central and it’s not by accident God has ordained her to be our leader, for this woman leader to come to us like this, this a new era for Central province and I pray God’s mandate upon our leader until God wants her to fulfill her desire to serve for the Central Province.”

Speaking to the youth Governor Peter said that it is important for her to come into the youth space because she hopes that during her tenure as leader of the Central Province she partners up with all the churches and organizations in the Province because as a country we need good leaders.

“We need good leaders, but leadership starts at the home, it is formed in the homes. So coming down to your level and sharing some of my own experiences hopefully this will inspire you. To the youths, I am talking to you firstly know that you are not a mistake, you are an integral part of Gods plan and it is important that you know that, because peer pressure comes in all sort of ways, but if you have a foundation basic knowledge of who you are and of Christ, that’s your anchor.”

Governor Peter also called on the Youth to respect their parents in the privacy of their own homes.

“Respecting your father and mother is vital, respect comes with obedience, so you young people take these words to heart.”

The Central Governor left the youth with the following three key points;
1. Faith that each one of them is not an accident
2. Respect and obey your parents and
3. Discipline

Governor Peter also shared her life experience with the young people and pastors that were present, despite the odds her determination, drive, discipline and faith were foundations for her success.

Following her speech the pastors of CRC and youths gathered together to pray for Central Province and the Governor in committing her leadership and Province to God.

The weeklong CRC Youth Convention begins today and ends next week on Thursday October 5, 2023.

PATHWAY FORMED FOR CENTRAL COCOA 270923
PRESS RELEASE

A historic day for the Central Province today as the Cocoa Board (CB) of PNG officially opened its Southern regional office in Port Moresby and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Central Provincial Government in a small but significant ceremony, which will now form a pathway for Central Cocoa.

Central Governor Rufina Peter, newly appointed CBPNG CEO Jesse Anjen and Acting Secretary for Department of Agriculture and Livestock Brown Konabe jointly opened the CB Southern Regional Office at the third floor of the Monian Tower in Boroko’s central business district.

The small office consists of a reception area where clients like cocoa farmers can wait to be served, a work space for two officers, and an office for the manager and small board room where meetings and consultations can take place.

Upon unveiling and cutting the ribbon of the new CB Southern Regional Office, the Governor for Central Province Rufina Peter took the opportunity on behalf of the People of Central to thank the Cocoa Board of PNG for giving the opportunity to the Central Province and Southern Region in establishing the office, Governor Peter also highlighted that Cocoa has big potential in the Central Province which has remained untapped until now. She stated that the opening of the Cocoa Board is the beginning of a new era for cocoa industry in Central Province and the Southern Region.

“I am sure with collaborative efforts with the Cocoa Board we will add to the cocoa production and export statistics of PNG.”

The second part of the program consisted of an MoU signing between CBPNG and the Central Provincial Government (CPG).

In addressing those gathered CEO Jesse Anjen emphasized that actions speak louder than words and revealed that the Central Province is the host Province for the Cocoa Board of PNG.

“We have a lot of potential here (Central Province) if we talk for nothing and open the office there’s no meaning, but thanks to the Central Provincial Government this is the first ever provincial agreement in the Southern Region and I am pleased this is what has happened and what we say and what we preach must happen, we are here to assist small holders in the Central Province particularly the Southern Region but we must do the work for it to become a reality.”

In strengthening the efforts of the CBPNG and as part of the MoU, Governor Peter through the Central Provincial Government allocated K1 Million to assist the CBPNG to push for the Cocoa Industry in the Central Province this is from the production stage, marketing, exporting and downstream processing this will ensure that our small cocoa plot holders and farmers in the rural areas and wards are supported by extension officers, identifying markets at their level.

For the Governor for Central its exciting times ahead for Cocoa in the Province and for the Cocoa industry in PNG.

"I congratulate the board management of Cocoa Board for this decision to finally consider Central Province as a potential cocoa producing province. Central Province has an untapped potential in cocoa production which has not been realized due to the lack of coordination from the industry.”

Governor Peter also highlighted that in August this year, staff from Central Province Government and Commodity Boards and Agencies had a one week Agriculture Stakeholder Workshop in Kwikila.

The purpose of this workshop was to bring all Agriculture Commodity Boards and Agencies together to discuss and establish the current state of operation of each organization in the Province and to plan a way forward for the development of each sector.

The consultation workshop had the following organizations’ in attendance;
1. Cocoa Board
2. Coffee Industry Corporation
3. Fresh Produce Development Agency
4. Kokonas Indastri korporesin
5. Rubber industry experts
6. Livestock development Corporation
7. National Agriculture Research Institute

The aim of the workshop was to;
1. Establish the constraints affecting the various commodity sectors and industry growth in the province
2. Evaluate and establish strategies to mitigate these limitation for the growth of the various commodities in the province
3. The parties involved, the commodity bodies and the Central Provincial Government to mobilize and combine resources to develop the specific commodity sector in central province.
This will be bound by a Memorandum of Understanding which is precisely what is happening today with the Cocoa Board of PNG.

The cocoa industry was once a thriving industry in Central Province in the days when the Department of Agriculture, stock and Fisheries (DASF) was responsible for both DEVELOPMENT and MARKETING of all agricultural commodities. When policy changes took place and the responsibility of MARKETING was transferred to the private sector (middlemen and exporters) the agriculture commodity marketing fell apart in most provinces especially remote areas in the country.

Central Province in no exception. That’s the same story of Arabica coffee in Goilala and inland Rigo, Koiari and Abau.

There are old stands of cocoa from those days and recent planting across the planting. Abau District was the largest cocoa producer in the days of DASF but it all fell apart.

From Cocoa Board Southern Region data and information over 2 million people in PNG are engaged in Cocoa production. At this stage, Central Province has 700 farmers and about 279,000 cocoa trees planted with 10 fermenteries.

The signing of the MoU is a key milestone as well. We are committed to providing resources with a contribution of K1 million toward this arrangement and we will require Cocoa Board to put in your contribution to achieve the stipulated outputs of the MOU.

Establishment of Cocoa fermenters and driers in the current production locations is our first priority to give confidence to the farmers to get into cocoa production, establishing a market outlet and apart from Paradise foods would be our second priority.

Governor Peter is also calling on a collaborative partnership between Central Provincial Government and the Cocoa Board of Papua New Guinea for the growth of the Cocoa production in Central Province that will benefit our Cocoa farmer in Central Province provide a clear pathway and increase export revenue for PNG.
