FOREWORD
A special welcome is given to the readers of this Plan and to everyone in the
development-planning field who are supportive in furthering the development
progress of women in Papua New Guinea. This Women in Mining (WIM) Plan has
been developed for and on behalf of the women in the mine impacted areas and
their Associations. It explains their future vision and aspirations.
This Plan will facilitate the provision of assistance to women in mine impacted areas
who increasingly are facing socio-economic problems caused by mining activities.
Such problems relate to the changes in their traditional ways and culture,
increasing population, loss of land, environmental degradation, social and family
disruption, violence, increased alcoholism, prostitution, sexual abuse, poor
distribution of mining benefits, health deterioration and a lack of representation on
mining matters.
Research into the issues women face with mining has shown that women bear the
brunt of the burden and the situation has remained unchanged in the last
seventeen years whilst, mining activities have increased in Papua New Guinea.
In 2003, at the first WIM Conference, the women dared to ask what could be done,
how can the situation be improved? Believing though, that through communication,
volunteering hard work, help could be given. Women Associations in the six major
mine sites formed a network to progress and create a vision making this Plan a goal
to aim for.
The primary goal of this Plan is to “improve the quality of lives for Papua New
Guineans” through effective planning. The Plan combines the essence of the
women’s motivation and dreams. It provides them with the training, work skills and
opportunities to improve their situation. The challenge of strengthening the
Associations capacity to sustain their resources and the provision of ongoing
training is tackled through the Plan. The Plan is a testimony to addressing the
issues through implementable strategies identified through extensive consultation.
To ensure strong ownership, this Plan is the product of extensive consultation with
the women in mine impacted areas and their Women Associations, the Gender
Development Officers at the six major mine sites as well as the inter-agency
government representatives. The consultation demonstrates strong support for
“improving the quality of lives” of the women and their families in the mine
impacted areas.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The development of this Plan came about as a result of an International Conference
for Women in Mining that was convened in Madang in June 2005. Prior to this
conference, various issues affecting women and children were raised at a similar
conference also held in Madang in 2003. These issues were categorized into three
(3) broad goals namely; Well-being (Health and Education), Economic
Empowerment and Social Empowerment. Different issues were put under these
three goals and after careful deliberation, eight definitive goals have been developed
to assist address the identified issues that are affecting women and their families in
the mine impacted areas.
1.1 The purpose of the Plan
This document outlines the issues affecting women in the mine impacted areas and
the objectives, strategies, targets and actions which the Women Associations and
relevant partners shall take to address the issues in order to achieve the desired
outcomes. Thus, the Women In Mining (WIM) Action Plan 2007-2012 has several
purposes:
• Draw attention to the existing socio-economic issues affecting women in the
mine impacted areas and attempts by Women’s Associations, Mining
Companies and Government to address these issues;
• Articulate International Conventions and Obligations relevant to women’s
advancement which, the government has committed to on improving the status
of women. These include the following:
� Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action
� Noumea Declaration and Platform for Action
� Nadi Declaration and Platform for Action
� Commonwealth Plan of Action
� Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women
(CEDAW) and
� Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s)
• Articulate, contextualize and align the above global and regional policies with the
national policies and national constitutional framework for planning for women
in Papua New Guinea particularly in reference to:
� National Constitution
� National Goals and Directive Principles
� National Women’s Policy
� National Women’s Platform for Action
� Medium Term Development Strategy
� National Population Policy
� Gender Equity in Education Policy
� National Health Plan
� National Education Plan
• Set the direction for addressing issues affecting the women in mine impacted
areas by translating the three (3) broad goals set in WIM 2003 Conference and
the higher order goals of the government into an Action Plan;
1

• Identify the Women’s Associations’ role in improving the status of women in the
mine impacted areas; and
• Identify key stakeholders/partners who will assist the Women’s Associations.
The WIM Action Plan 2007-2012 represents a coherent, integrated and participatory
approach adopted by the women who are affected and the government in taking an
affirmative action through developing the Plan.
Furthermore, the adoption of all the international conventions, the national
constitution, goals and directive principles, and also the national policies
necessitated the development of the Plan. In particular, it is important that all other
sectoral policies must embrace and adopt the strategies outlined in the MTDS in
particular the Ten Guiding Principles. In other words, sectoral policies, plans,
programs, projects and activities must drive the governments over arching
development strategies as defined by the Ten Guiding Principles in order to achieve
the ultimate goal of “Improved Quality of Life” for Papua New Guineans.
1.2 The structure of the Plan
The document begins by describing the approach taken by government to advance
the status of women. It then articulates the International Conventions and
Declarations regarding women’s advancement to which Papua New Guinea is a
signatory or participant and the overarching National Government’s goals and
directive principles plus policies that guide development at the national level.
Attention is then drawn to the current ‘state-of-affairs’ under the section on issues
affecting women in mine impacted areas. The goals, objectives, strategies and
targets are then laid down and the roles of the Women’s Associations and their key
strategic partners are stated.
1.3 The rationale for the Plan
The rationale for the WIM Action Plan 2007-2012 rests on several grounds. First,
the transition of the mine impacted areas population from a rural subsistence
agricultural and fishing sector into a cash/monetized economy is quite marked.
This has implications for the local population’s ability to sustain themselves after
mine closure. Coupled with the increase in the population of these communities, is
the increase in demand for such government services as schooling and health care.
Thus, it is critical to undertake planning to ensure that these demands will be met
in the most cost effective manner possible.
Second, with so many demands and very scare resources it is necessary to prioritize
and align programs and projects with the expenditure priority areas of the
government.
Third, the government is in the business of partnership through strategic alliances
between key partners including the private sector, donors, churches and
community base organizations all working together to improve the quality of lives
for the people. Hence, it is important to identify strategic partners in the Plan who
will support the implementation of this Plan.
2

1.4 The Plan timeframe
The WIM Action Plan will cover a five-year period from 2007 to 2012. This is in line
with other overarching national policies and strategies whose objectives are
embraced in this Plan. This Plan will be subject to review at the end of this period.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The past thirty-two years has been a period of tremendous change, accomplishment
and challenge for the women in Papua New Guinea. Women have made important
contributions to national development, particularly in sustaining the wellbeing of
the nation’s population as the backbone of the subsistence agricultural economy.
The majority of the population depends on this sector for survival.
Despite social, economic and political constraints as a developing nation, Papua
New Guinea women have achieved much during the country’s short history. The
democratic system of government and National Constitution has provided the
environment for positive advances to be taken to achieve the universal goal of
“Equity, Development and Peace”. Improvement can be seen in areas of education,
training, employment and health. Access to tertiary education for women and
participation of women in the formal labor force has improved markedly.
2.1 Government Interventions
A key strategic approach which the Government has taken for facilitating women’s
empowerment is through the process of gender mainstreaming, or bringing a gender
perspective into the mainstream activities of Government’s (national, provincial,
district) organizations, and ensuring that men, women, boys and girls needs,
interests, priorities, and experiences are taken into account in the planning and
implementation of all stages of a program or project cycle.
Empowerment is perceived as the process of generating and building women’s
capacities to exercise control over their lives and make choices free from coercion or
discrimination. Gender equality is acknowledged, as an important goal in itself but
empowering women through increased access to and control over resources and
opportunities is a strategic means to improve the overall effectiveness of
development initiatives. In general, it is accepted that development programs with
gender related activities are more successful in achieving their overall objectives.
Mainstreaming calls for equitable distribution of the resources, opportunities and
benefits of the development process and addresses gender inequalities in the
mainstream of organizational policies, plans and programs, not just as separate,
ad-hoc activities.
For effective gender mainstreaming, it is imperative that Papua New Guinea women
are involved in the development of policies, design and management of programs at
all stages and levels of decision making to ensure that appropriate actions are
taken to address issues of equality and to make implementation central to the
empowerment process. Mechanisms of participation need to invest in building
women’s capacity to become actively engaged in decision-making processes at the
household, community, and government levels.

2.2 Policy and Legal Framework for Planning for Women in Papua New
Guinea
2.2.1 Beijing Platform for Action 1995
The Beijing Platform for Action (BPA) 1995 is a global agreement to numerous
critical areas of concern to women of the world. These are universal issues which
women from all walks of life encounter regardless of color, creed or religion. The
critical areas of concern are reflected in the Pacific Platform for Action.
2.2.2 The Pacific Platform for Action 1994
The Pacific Platform for Action (PPA) is a comprehensive charter for national and
regional action on women and sustainable development, which was formalized by
the Noumea Declaration and endorsed by the Pacific Island Governments in May
1994.
The PPA identified thirteen (13) critical areas requiring immediate attention and
called on the governments, churches and NGO’s to make available necessary
resources to advance and address the following critical areas:
1. Health
2. Education and Training
3. Economic Empowerment
4. Agriculture and Fishing
5. Legal and Human Rights
6. Shared Decision-Making
7. Environment
8. Culture and Family
9. Mechanisms to Promote Advancement of Women
10. Violence
11. Peace and Justice
12. Poverty
13. Indigenous People’s Rights
2.2.3 The Revised Pacific Platform for Action (RPPA) 2004
Recalling that gender equality is one of the fundamental principles of the Noumea
Declaration of 1994 and that sustainable development is not possible without the
advancement of women, twenty (20) Pacific Island countries and territories
Ministers for Women’s Affairs adopted in August 2004, a Revised Pacific Platform
for Action on the Advancement of Women and Gender Equality 2005-2015 as a
“living document” to advance their commitment to gender equality and equity. This
is now referred to as the Nadi Declaration 2004.
The commitment by the State Ministers is in recognition that there is a need for a
long term forward looking perspective. The Nadi Declaration calls for governments,
regional and international agencies and development partners to take affirmative
actions for the effective implementation of the RPPA. The RPPA has four (4) critical
areas of concerns, which are:
1. Mechanisms to promote the Advancement of Women
4

2. Women’s Legal and Human Rights
3. Women’s Access to Services, and
4. Economic Empowerment.
2.2.4 The Commonwealth Plan of Action 2005 - 2015
Commonwealth Ministers of Gender Affairs in Nadi, Fiji endorsed the
Commonwealth Plan of Action (CPA) in 2005. The CPA focuses on four (4) critical
areas, which are; gender, democracy, peace and conflict. The critical issue of gender
includes; human rights and law, gender and economic development, gender and
HIV/AIDS.
2.2.5 The Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination
Against Women (CEDAW)
The Convention was adopted in 1979 and in 1981 was entered into force thus
bringing to climax United Nations (UN) efforts to codify comprehensively
international standards for women. The Convention essentially constitutes the Bill
of Rights for Women. Its preamble recalls that the elimination of discrimination
against women and the promotion of equality between men and women are central
principles of the UN and constitute binding obligation under the Charter of the UN
and other instruments.
The preamble covers thirty (30) operative Articles that bind States, which have
ratified or acceded to it. Although the Convention requires progressive rather than
immediate implementation of many provisions, ratification demonstrates an
unqualified positive commitment to the comprehensive prohibition and elimination
of discrimination against women.
Papua New Guinea ratified CEDAW in 1995 as a response to pressure from women
during the preparation for the Fourth Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995.
CEDAW has been mainstreamed in most of the public sector and is integrated at
policy, planning and programming levels.
2.2.6 The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
The Millennium Declaration, to which PNG is a signatory, led to the formulation of
eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). These were adopted by 147 heads of
States and Governments in September 2000. The eight goals are:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empowerment of women
4. Reduce child mortality
5. Improve maternal Health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for development.
The eight MDGs complement the ten (10) critical areas of concern in the Platform
for Action and have a direct link to the Beijing Platform for Action, Pacific Platform
for Action, the Commonwealth Plan of Action including the National Platform for
Action.
5

For each of the MDGs, specific targets have been tailored or customized to match
Papua New Guinea’s context and realities. These are reflected in the MTDS 2005-
2010.
2.2.7 The National Constitution
Gender equality is enshrined in the National Constitution. The Constitution forms a
sound basis in which planning for women must be addressed. It specifically calls
for “Integral Human Development” and “Equality and Participation” which
states that:
“We declare our first goal to be for every person to be dynamically involved in
the process of freeing herself/himself from every form of dominion or
oppression so that man or woman will have the opportunity to develop as a
whole person with others”.
Under this goal, the Constitution calls for:
“Everyone to be involved in our endeavors to achieve integral human
development of the whole person and to seek fulfillment through his or her
contribution to the common good”.
“We declare our second goal to be for all citizens to have an equal opportunity
to participate in and benefit from the development of our country”
Under this goal, the Constitution calls for:
“Equal participation by women citizens in all political, economic, social and
religious activities”
It is recognized that every person has a right to develop their full potential. Thus,
the fact that women constitute approximately 50% of the nation’s population
provides the basis for women to be involved in all aspects of social, economic and
political or decision-making process in PNG.
2.2.8 The National Goals and Directive Principles
Any development effort within PNG should be in accordance with the National Goals
and Directive Principles. These principles are:
1. Integral Human Development
2. Equality and Participation
3. National Sovereignty and Self- Reliance
4. Natural Resources and Environment and
5. Papua New Guinea Ways.
2.2.9 The National Women’s Policy
The PNG National Women’s Policy is an extension of PNG’s Constitution. The eight
aims of the Constitution are the cornerstones of the Policy. They call for equal
unlimited participation of women in the political, economic, cultural and social life
of Papua New Guinea. This policy is the blueprint for women as it provides the
platform for planning.
6

The National Women’s Policy was developed as a contribution towards realizing the
specific goals of “Integral Human Development” and “Equality and
Participation” as stated in the Constitution. The policy sets out the basic
parameters in which sectoral agencies are to integrate women’s development
concerns into their policies, plans and programs to ensure mainstreaming occurs
within government. Thus, the approach is intended to promote both the interest of
women as individuals as well as the economic and social development of PNG.
2.2.10 The National Platform for Action, 1995-2005
The National Platform for Action (NPA) reaffirms the National Constitution,
particularly strengthening the goals of “Integral Human Development” and “Equality
and Participation” and the seventh aim of the Government’s Eight Point
Development Plan, which calls for a “rapid increase in the equal and active
participation of women in all forms of economic and social activities”.
The NPA identifies ten (10) critical areas of concern, which are not exclusive to
women but affect community as a whole. These are:
1. Health
2. Education, Training and Literacy
3. Mechanisms and Shared Decision Making
4. Economic Empowerment, Employment Opportunities and Conditions
5. Legal and Human Rights (Violence, Peace and National Unity)
6. Culture and the Family (Young Women and Girls, Special Groups of
Women
7. Transport, Shelter, Water and Communication
8. Agriculture and Fisheries (Resources and Foreign Investment Affecting
Women)
9. Environment and Development
10 Sustainable Development and Poverty
The above ten (10) critical issues of concern have clear links with the Beijing
Platform for Action, the Commonwealth Plan of Action for Gender and Equality
2005-2015 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The NPA acknowledges and recognizes that partnership is the key to achieving
sustainable development, national unity and peace. Thus, partnership between the
three levels of Government, NGO’s, Churches, private sector and donors, and
partnership between men and women is critical. The overall message of the NPA is
that national and local plans and programs are needed to promote sustainable
development, with greater participation by women and, in which women’s concerns
are given higher priority.
2.2.11 The Medium Term Development Strategy (MTDS) 2005-2010
The overarching development strategy - Medium Term Development Strategy 2005-
2010 - is defined as export driven economic growth, rural development and poverty
reduction, including through good governance and promotion of agriculture,
forestry, fisheries and tourism on a sustainable basis. The strategy will be realized
by empowering Papua New Guineans, especially those living in rural areas, to
mobilize their own resources for higher living standards.
7

Based on the development strategy and with the requirement to empower Papua
New Guineans to drive the development process, the expenditure priority areas
under the MTDS are:
• Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Transport Infrastructure
• Promotion of Income Earning Opportunities
• Basic Education
• Development Oriented Informal Adult Education
• Primary Health Care
• HIV/AIDS and
• Law and Justice.
2.2.12 The National Population Policy 2000-2010
The National Population Policy 2000-2010 has been formulated with clear guiding
principles in mind. These principles have been drawn from the PNG Constitution,
the ICPD Programme of Action (1994), and other International Conventions that
PNG has acceded to. The Policy provides a coherent and transparent picture of the
significance of population issues in the overall development process.
2.2.13 The Gender Equity in Education Policy 2003
The Ministry for Education launched the Gender Equity in Education Policy in
2003. The policy addresses equal opportunity for professional development within
the organizational structure of the education sector as well as equity in service
delivery. The policy includes Guidelines for Implementation, which sets out
responsibilities at all levels within the education system and a Gender Equity in
Schools Resource Book for Teachers, which provides practical guidelines and
activities for promoting the principles of gender equity in the classroom.
2.2.14 The National Health Plan 2001-2010
The National Health Plan (NHP) 2001-2010 provides the policy framework within
which all PNG health services are planned and implemented. The NHP refers to the
Government’s commitment to CEDAW to increase women’s access to appropriate,
affordable, and quality health services and information, and reflects an
understanding of how gender issues affect health. The NHP identifies the following
approaches to address women’s health needs:
• Improve and strengthen services
• Improve community awareness and education
• Improve supervision and training of health staff
• Improve nutritional programs
• Involve women in the design of programs.
2.2.15 The National Education Plan 2005-2014
The National Education Plan 2005 - 2014 sets out the reform structure of the
education system and provide a wide range of strategies to address issues of gender
equality. The goals of the Education Reform, which commenced in 1995 at all
levels, articulate the principle of equal opportunity for girls and boys at all levels of
the education system, with particular emphasis on retention at the primary level
8

and increased access at the secondary level. The policy objectives of the Reform
include increased and improved participation and completion rates for female
students. The Reform incorporates a gender perspective, recognizing that many
parents do not understand the value of educating girls, and that girls are not
getting a fair opportunity to enter, stay on and then perform well at school.
3.0 THE WIM NATIONAL PLAN PROCESS AND SCOPE
3.1 Issues Identified
During the 2003 WIM Conference, a broad range of issues were raised which are
addressed through the eight specific goals. Such issues are:
• Violence
• Alcohol Abuse
• Prostitution
• Sexual Abuse
• Social and Family Disruption
• Cultural and Traditional Degradation
• Environmental Degradation
• Poor Distribution of Mining Benefits
• Deterioration of Health
• Lack of Women’s Representation
After the 2005 WIM Conference, other emerging issues (as indicated below) were
raised by the women during consultations to the six mine sites. These issues are
also captured in the Plan and they are:
• Low Level of General Education and Literature
• Poor state of Educational and Health Facilities
• Lack of knowledge and awareness on gender issues
• Non-existence of a Common Resource Centre
• Poor state and lack of market facilities
• Lack of Micro Finance, Management and Business Skills
• Lack of knowledge and awareness on HIV/AIDS
• Increasing Law & Order Problems
• Increasing Reliance on Mining Benefits
• Lack of knowledge and awareness on the environmental impacts of mining
activities
3.2 The Plan Process
Following the WIM 2005 Conference, an Inter-Agency Steering Committee was
established comprising representatives from line agencies such as the Departments
of Mining, Petroleum and Energy, National Planning & Monitoring, Environment
and Conservation, Works, Justice & Attorney General, Community Development,
and Agriculture & Livestock. Other agencies and organisations that joined later
were the Department of Education and the National Council of Women. The process
that was undertaken to develop this Plan is outlined in Figure 1.

Since this was a new exercise for most of the committee members, a familiarization
workshop on the Planning Processes and Procedures was conducted for the
committee members so that they were familiar with the planning process. Prior to
and after the site visits to the women in and around the mine sites, there were
constant consultations and networking between the committee members and the
women representatives at the mine sites. On most occassions, women working for
the Community Affairs Department of the various mining companies were the focal
points for the women in the rural villages affected by the mining activities.

5. Revise Objectives &
Strategies
Women affected by the mining activities have been consulted widely for their views
and contributions towards this Plan. Due to the high level of illiteracy among the
women, planning terminologies were translated into Pidgin-a language that is
commonly spoken and understood by the women. On some occassions, a translator
brought in by the women themselves had to translate for them during the workshop
sessions. The women’s concerns and contributions were inputted during the
sessions in English, while at the same time emphasizing to the women that what
was inputted was what they actually said. Hence, what is contained in this Plan
reflects the desires and aspirations of these women.
While documenting the information, the committee ensured there was consistency
with existing policies, plans and programmes. These includes the overarching policy
objectives of the government as contained in the MTDS, the MDGs, the sector plans
like the National Education and Health Plans, and the Memorandum of Agreements
signed between the government, mining companies and the Landowners.
3.3 Plan design strategy to address issues
A low level of living as reflected by having low cash incomes reduces the quality of
life because it means that the resources available to families and individuals to
improve their conditions is non existent and results in poor health and welfare is

inadequate. Where the means to put choices into action are limited, the quality of
life may also be low.
This Plan shows the specific objectives, strategies and actions that the Women’s
Associations intend to employ in order to achieve the Plan’s goals. It shows the
implementation costs as well as monitoring and evaluation aspects together with
the linkages between the goals, objectives, strategies and specific activities that
would be carried out to achieve the ultimate goal of this Plan. Further details of
these linkages are contained in the Plan Matrices reproduced in Appendix A.
3.4 Plan Goals and Objectives
The goals for this Plan are to improve the status of women, ensure reproductive
health care & family planning services are affordable, prevention of TB, STI’s and
HIV/AIDS, an increase in the opportunity for women and girls to participate in the
economic, cultural and social life in their communities, strengthening of women’s
association capacities, ensuring communities are able to sustain their livelihoods,
mitigating and avoiding environmental degradation and promoting and maintaining

3.6 Implementation and Reporting Schedules
The implementation of this Plan will require close collaboration and strong
partnership between Women’s Associations, Mining Companies, Government, Non
Government Organisations (NGOs), Churches, Donors and individual commitment
to bring about positive change. The project targets have all been carefully thought
through so they are achievable and within the capacities of the Women’s
Associations to implement. The roles and responsibilities of each of the
stakeholders are clearly identified within the framework in Appendix A.
3.7 Scale and Absorptive Capacity
The scale of the projects are small so that they are delivered effectively into remote
areas.
The capacity of the mine technical assistance, Women’s Executive and District
Administration is sufficient. Where additional expertise is required, PNG
Consultants are to be engaged. The communication facilities at the mines in
particular is of considerable assistance.
3.8 Management and Authority for the Plan
The overall Authority for the Plan are the representatives from the Associations in
the WIM Network. These representatives are being assisted by an Inter-Agency
Steering Committee.
16

The Management of the Plan would be carried out by a Gender Officer in the
Department of Mining. A Project Support Provider, a Logistics Officer and an
Accountant would assist this person. Their responsibilities are listed in Appendix F.
3.9 Risk Assessment
The scope of the Plan provides projects to be delivered such as Literacy Training to
all sites. If one site has a particular problem, it is unlikely to greatly affect the
overall implementation of the project. Such risks of a project delay involve matters
such as;
• A Major Road Block due to natural or man made disaster
• Tribal fighting or Youth agitation
• Destructive Earthquakes
• Bad weather
• Shortage of manpower
• Funding not flowing through on time
• Information flow and obtaining approvals
All these potential problems have been faced previously and by spreading the work,
the risk is minimized as well as the probability of any major project hold up.
3.10 Cost Schedule
The cost estimations of the Plan were completed with the WIM Associations and
their known costs for similar programs. However, all the estimates are subject to

3.11 Ownership of Assets
19
GRAND TOTAL: K15,568,000
All assets originating from this project will become assets of the individual mine
Women’s Associations. The Associations will own the land for any permanent
structures required under the Plan.
3.12 Sustainability
Mine Closure Planning for various mines will assist to address the issue of how to
sustain the Women’s Associations.
The Associations must be maintained for future generations. Association executives
are aware of this and more and more are involving younger women to assist. Most
associations are run on a volunteer basis and require minimal cash to keep
operating. This cash is usually supplied by Grant from Local Level Government. All
Associations however are trying to replace the Grants with dividend income from
businesses.
Overall there is a circularity in terms of the lasting economic benefits after mining
and the contributions to the Associations.
3.13 Monitoring & Reporting
The Project Manager and the Project Support Provider will be responsible for
reporting and providing an evaluation analysis of the Plan’s progress both
qualitatively and against time and budget.
3.14 Evaluation
The effectiveness of the Plan will be measured against the targets set. These figures
are directly quantifiable. An annual report will be produced to all the Associations
funding agencies and interested parties to enable these matters to be monitored.

4.0 GENDER DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS
4.1 Development Priority
The Plan falls in line with the fourth National Goal and Directive Principle to
provide benefits to future generations through the wise use of resources. In this
case, the up skilling of the women should see the skills passed on from generation
to generations delivering long term benefits to the community.
The Plan further conforms to achieve development through the use of Papua New
Guinea forms of political and economic organization. The Plan’s arrangements,
impetus and objectives were developed during meetings conducted at the mine
sites. The Plan is a women’s driven Plan as it gives priority to their needs as
identified.
The Plan is an example as to what can be done in other resource areas, thus, it can
be replicable in other resource areas. The recognition and prioritizing of
development of women’s skills has already wide spread support.
4.2 Development Responses
The Plan is a respond to the development needs of women in the mine impacted
areas in key areas of education, especially literacy, health, especially health
extension in training in preventable diseases, increased opportunities, leadership
and cash income areas. The promotion of environment as well as safety, security
and peace are all in line with improving women’s standing, status and position in
the community and thus helping the progress of the whole community.
4.3 Gender and Development
The Plan promotes gender equity and development and promotes women’s interests.
It is a step further in the fight for gender equity. It improves access to justice,
economic resources and women’s human rights.
4.4 Gender and the Environment
In an age of environmental concerns over mining, there are many questions to be
addressed. This Plan supports the overall strategy at each PNG mine to address
both the physical and social environmental problems. It will build the capacity of
the women to understand and improve their environment. It will build their
capacity to deal with the problems they face thus assisting to manage the
sustainable development requirements necessary for future generations. There are
many changes to traditions and social ways. This Plan seeks to ensure that the
carrying capacity of the future population is not excessively destroyed.
5.0 ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE
Two Women in Mining Conferences, two Association Workshops, mine site planning
meetings and a WIM Outcomes Report have been completed. A PNG GENFUND
study to examine the gender impacts caused by Mining was completed in June
2005. Results of this study led to the development of a set of criterias to analyse the
status of women and their wellbeing, economic and social empowerment and their
development activities in mining areas throughout PNG.
20

New funding has been made available under the JSDF for women impacted by the
mining sector. The Chamber of Mines and Petroleum administers these funds,
which the Women Associations can access by applying for loans to implement
activities that are identified in the WIM Action Plan.
The Plan embraces the training techniques already working successfully at some
mining sites to be done in a perspective endorsed by the women at each mine site.
The Plan is an investment in people that will enable the women to be self reliant
and self-sufficient after the new developments and changes brought by mining
companies.
This Plan complements the Mine Closure Planning. Mine Closure Planning was
emphasized at recent mine community affairs conferences as one of the most
important aspects of a mine’s plans.
It is also very important to sustain the economic base in an area after mining
women become more involved in the cash crop economy. This Plan seeks to do this
and skill women in growing suitable cash crops in their areas.
The Plan has been carefully developed with verifiable indicators to check that each
component is successfully implemented.
The Plan will add value to the continued long-term development of women and
assist in promoting harmony and productive activities to foster long-term
sustainability.

In 2003, a Women in Mining Conference was convened to give women
impacted by mining the opportunity to speak out on the issues confronting
them. Speak out they did and they highlighted strategies to address their
issues.
Following the 2005 WIM Conference, an Inter Agency Government
Committee agreed to work in close consultation with the women of the mine
areas to develop an Action Plan to provide the assistance and support to the
women to address mining activities’ negative impacts.
Preparation of this National WIM Plan involved consultations with
Community Leaders, Womens Associations, Government Administrators,
NGOs, Interest Groups, Mine Managers and commercial organizations. In
addition, a public WIM Conference in June 2005 reviewed the strategies and
Appendices Page 80

a combined meeting of the WIM Associations in November, 2005 fully
endorsed the Plan.
This Plan has backing from the National Government Departments of
National Planning & Monitoring, Mining, Petroleum and Energy, Agriculture
& Livestock, Community Development, Environment and Conservation,
Education, Health and Attorney General.
The Plan is in line with all District Plans in Districts where the mines are
located.
In order to strengthen the Womens Associations, the Plan envisages building
a Resource Centre per impact area other than Tolukuma to support the
training and delivery of skills to the women.
Enquiries in relation to the program, technical matters, finance etc should
be made to;

1.3 Relevant Track Record
The Women’s Associations/Groups at Lihir, Porgera, Ok Tedi, Kainantu,
Hidden Valley and Tolukuma mines have been established to specifically
promote the development of women, to organize educational training courses
for women, educate women on their legal and human rights, to promote
leadership and educate them in basic health, nutrition, business training
and work with all levels of Government, churches, businesses and
community groups.
The Women’s Associations have been doing all the above to varying degrees,
but in Kainantu, Hidden Valley and Tolukuma, the Associations are just
getting started.
In other mine areas, the Women’s Associations have successfully
undertaken the following programs: Literacy training, Sewing, Leadership
skills training, Micro-finance training, Health and Nutrition workshops,
Attended Combined Fellowships, Celebrated Women’s Activities, Conducted
Home Care Management Workshops as well as Agriculture training and
awareness.
All of the foregoing have been carried out in a very challenging environment
with poor communications, difficult supply lines and with continuous effort
applied to community relations.
The Women’s Associations/Groups have strong hard working executives
with considerable community experience, who meet regularly. The
executives are supported by at least one or two senior technical officers
Appendices Page 81

employed by the mining companies with years of experience in implementing
training programs. Each Association with mine assistance has the capacity
to implement the training programs in this Plan.
1.4 Registration and Affiliations
The Associations in Ok Tedi, Porgera, Lihir, Kainantu and Hidden Valley are
legally registered under the Associations Act 1997. The Tolukuma Women’s
Group is planning such a registration but needs assistance to do this, such
assistance is part of this Plan.
The Associations have direct affiliations (except Tolukuma) with their
respective Local Level Governments (LLG) in that two members of the LLG
Council are appointed members of the Council. Also they have affiliations
with each District, Provincial and National Council of Women network.
On a day-to-day basis, the Associations work with the Mining Companies,
the Provincial Administrations, Local Church Groups, and the Mine Area
Landowner Association(s).
1.5 Financial Management and Track Record
Each of the Associations has good financial management track records. The
appointed Treasurer carries out the accounting and they maintain their own
bank accounts. Balances and Budgets are dealt with at Annual General
Meetings of the Associations.
1.6 Funding Sources and Budget
Generally, income is small. The Associations do not collect membership fees.
They are reliant on a grant from the Local Level Government or from income
within their own resources such as operating markets, credit schemes and
general business.
Each of the Associations is endeavoring to become more self-sufficient. An
initiative of the Department of Mining is to have regulatory changes made to
enable the Women’s Associations to receive a small percentage of mining
Royalties, but this is only at the policy consideration stage.
Presently, though Women’s Association activities are supported by
volunteers or mine sponsored training.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON MINE SITES
Appendices Page 83

2.0 BACKGROUND OF MINE SITES
The six (6) mine sites that were visited are the Tolukuma Gold Mine, Ok Tedi
Gold Mine, Porgera Gold Mine, Hamata/Hidden Valley Mines, Lihir Gold
Mine and Kainantu Gold Mine.
2.1 Tolukuma Gold Mine
Figure 3: Tolukuma Gold Mine Site
Source: Courtesy of Tolukuma Gold Mine, 2005
The Tolukuma Gold Mine (TGM) (Figure 3) is located in the Goilala District
of the Central Province of Papua New Guinea, and 105 kilometres north of
the capital Port Moresby. At an elevation of 1500 meters, the mine receives
an average annual rainfall of 3.5 meters. Set in the steep mountainous
terrain of the Owen Stanley Range, the mine can only be reached by
helicopter.
Originally owned by Newmont Mining, Tolukuma was purchased by Dome
Resources in 1993. The mine has been operational since 1995 and the first
gold pour was in January 1996. It is both an open pit and underground
mine. Durban Roodepoort Deep Limited (DRD) of South Africa acquired the
mine in June 2000.
Exploration is actively occurring in the areas surrounding the mine with the
intention of extending the mine life beyond the predicted closure schedule of
2010.
People and Culture
The mine is located on land belonging to three clans, which are the Hameng,
Appendices Page 84

Yaulo and Yangam. These three clans are commonly referred to as the Yulai
landowners. These clans and the clans from downstream communities
(Auga/Dilava Valley) which are impacted by TGM’s operations are patrilineal
whereby, men are leaders and decision making powers are heavily vested on
them. This basically implies that all decisions concerning how royalties,
compensation and development are distributed are done by the males.
Women have no direct access and control over compensation, royalty
payments plus other development issues.
Since the mines operation, the evolving cash economy has had some positive
impacts, but has also impinged upon the indigenous people’s traditional
existence.
Although TGM does not encourage the sale of alcohol, local women report
that consumption of alcohol has dramatically increased since the mine
began operation. This in turn has led to an increase in alcohol-related
domestic violence, sexual assault, sex worker activity, gambling, drug abuse
amongst young people, and increased incidence of HIV/AIDS and sexually
transmitted diseases and infections.
Women from the Mining Lease area (ML 104) travel far to make food gardens
or they buy local vegetables brought in by the Auga/Dilava Valley women
who walk long distances across rugged and difficult terrains.
Garden and store food items at the mine site are sold at inflated price. For
example, one kilogram rice in Port Moresby cost K2.60. However, at
Tolukuma it cost K10.00. This high price exists despite TGM’s assistance
through the provision of ‘freight free’.
Mine Support Arrangements
To combat alcohol related violence against women, TGM made a submission
to the Central Provincial Government to make Goilala a ‘dry’ District which
would then prohibit the local third level airline from flying alcohol into Fane
destined for the Tolukuma communities. This submission was endorsed and
is currently enforced.
TGM strived to establish women’s committees whose main aim is to bring
about a new idea and sense of community spirit that moves away from the
individual gain cargo-cult mentality.
One of the most important support arrangements is the inclusion of the
Tolukuma Women’s Association representative on the Avubab Committee
(Joint Committee of Chiefs, Landowner Representatives and TGM through
the Community Relations Office) that makes decisions on sustainable
development projects.
Another significant change is the recognition of Yulai women landowners as
equal partners with men in landownership issues, decision making
processes and most importantly in the implementation of decisions. In
addition, TGM has endeavoured to ensure that royalties’ payment is equally
distributed to all women who are mothers, daughters, sisters and wives of
all Yulai landowners.
Appendices Page 85

Apart from supplying reticulated water to all the villages so women no longer
need to carry water from long distances, TGM has assisted women to wholly
take ownership of agricultural programs within and outside of the Mining
Lease areas.
Another support arrangement is the arrangement TGM has between the
Crocodile Catering whereby the company employs only Goilala women to
work in janitorial and catering roles.
Women’s Organisations and Networks
History was made on 28 th September 2005, when women from Tolukuma –
both within and ouside of the Mining Lease areas of the mine put aside their
differences and came together as one people. They voted into office their first
ever excecutives to be the voice for Tolukuma women. They agreed to
operate under the name “Tolukuma Women’s Association (Figure 4). The
election was facilitated by government officials who were on site visit
conducting consultations as part of the process to develop this Plan.
Composition of the membership includes; ML 104, Hameng, Yaulo, Yangam
and the Augadelava valley (Wards 3, 4, and 5). Majority of the women are
members of the Goilala District Catholic Women’s Group commonly known
as the “Legion of Mary” who have been existing long before TGM came into
operation. The women pledge to stand together, build and strengthen some
of the community work, which TGM has initiated for the good of their
communities.

2.2 Ok Tedi Gold Mine
Figure 5: The shape of the Mt Fubilan pit, Ok Tedi Mine
Source: OK Tedi Mining Annual Review 2004: pg.3
The Ok Tedi mine is located in the foothills of the Star Mountains in the
Western Province of Papua New Guinea. The Ok Tedi mine is managed by
Broken Hill Proprietary Company (BHP) and jointly owned by BHP, the
Papua New Guinea Government and Inmet Mining Corporation (IMC),
through Ok Tedi Mining Limited (OTML).
Production at the mine began in 1984 and has operated for more than 20
years. The operation is based on one of the world’s largest copper and gold
ore bodies. It is located on Mt. Fubilan (Figure 5), some 2,000 meters above
sea level in the headwaters of the Ok Tedi, and 1,000 river kilometres from
the Gulf of Papua.
The development of the mine has been a major technical achievement
undertaken in demanding physical environment. Mt. Fubilan is part of a
precipitous mountain range and is one of the wettest places in the world
with about 10 meters (400 inches) of rainfall annually. The terrain is
geologically unstable with frequent landslides and earth quakes.
People and Culture
All the tribes impacted by the mine are patrilineal where men are the
landowners and leaders. Ninety percent of the women still adhere to their
traditional roles and it is not considered appropriate for them to
communicate with other males from outside their villages.
Less than five percent of the women have an education beyond Grade 6.
Only three of the 156 Village Planning Committees are chaired by women
and there are only two women trustees in the nine Community Development
Trusts.
Appendices Page 87

Prior to 1997, women were seen as only part of the community and not
relevant to the mine. Women had no direct access and control of
compensation payments. Men were the only ones that the mine consulted
for benefits and decisions.
Programs delivered and assistance given by OTML to the women were not
planned for and thereby were not sustainable.
Mine Support Arrangements
Since 1998, OTML has provided funding assistance specifically to assist
women from the mine impacted areas. Women have benefited through
programs such as basic life skills training, employment, literacy, health and
various awareness programs.
Furthermore, OTML employed a woman through the Regional Development
Department to establish a Gender Desk to improve gender awareness and
provide life skills training.
One major support arrangement was the establishment of the Alice River
Trust Benefit Packages which commenced in 1997. Since then, OTML
allocated K100, 000.00 annually and directly for women in 15 villages.
Women access this fund through submission of project proposals and not
through cash requests. Most of the proposals concentrate on food
processing, leadership training skills, vegetable farming, baking and sewing.
OTML continues to play a major role in raising the skill levels and
empowering women to participate in planning, decision-making and review
of programmes.
To sustain the current initiatives, OTML has built partnership with the
various women’s groups and the Provincial Government to ensure greater
chances of ownership and sustainability.
Women’s Organisations and Networks
The Ok Tedi Women’s Association structure is similar to that of Porgera. The
Association affiliates to the Ok Tedi District Council of Women who is also
represented on the Provincial Council. The Association has a good working
relationship with OTML through the Regional Development Department.

2.3 Porgera Gold Mine
Figure 6: Porgera Gold Mine Site
Source: Profile – Mining and Petroleum Investment – PNG: 8 TH Edition 2005: pg 52
Porgera is located in Enga Province in the highlands of Papua New Guinea
about 130 kilometres west of the established town of Mt. Hagen, and 600
kilometres northwest of Port Moresby. Porgera is about 680 kilometres by
road from the coastal port of Lae from which all materials are freighted. The
road is partly paved and passes through unstable mountainous terrain with
many major river crossings. Personnel are transported to site by bus, fixed
wing aircraft and helicopter.
The mine is located at an altitude of 2,200 to 2,700 meters. Temperatures
range from 10 – 25 degrees Celsius and rainfall averages 3,650m per year.
The vegetation is largely rainforest (Figure 6).
Mine production at Porgera commenced in 1990 after an extended period of
exploration, which commenced in 1938 when gold was first reported. In
1975, Placer (PNG) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Place Dome,
became the operator and owner of a two thirds interest in an exploration
venture with Mount Isa Mines Limited (MIM). By 1979, a joint agreement
was signed whereby Placer (PNG), MIM and New Guinea Goldfields Limited
each held a one third interest and the Independent State of Papua New
Guinea had the right to acquire at the cost up to a 10% interest in the
project. In 1989, the State accepted its full 10% entitlement. The mine is
expected to cease production in 2012.
People and Culture
The Porgera society is patrilineal whereby land is passed down through men
and most decisions to do with family or clan are also made by men. On the
other hand, Porgera women traditional lead physically demanding lives such
Appendices Page 89

as tending food gardens, raising domesticated animals, poultry, and rearing
children. To provide for their families Porgera women often carry children,
food, firewood and garden tools over mountainous terrains.
Over the years of the operation of the mine, Porgera women have
experienced changes such as the disappearance of their garden land, the
relocation of families into new homes and learning to clean and care for the
new homes, the introduction of cash into the traditional society coupled with
their lack of knowledge on how to manage the money wisely.
Mine Support Arrangements
The Community Development Division of Porgera Joint Venture has
supported the Porgera Women’s Association to implement activities such as:
• Training in health (HIV/AIDS), family planning, baby care and
prevention of diseases, vocational education (sewing mending and
screen printing), business (book keeping and project management),
nutrition and agriculture.
• Adult literacy program in twenty schools. The first, previously illiterate
female students have graduated.
• Establishment of small business (artefacts store, canteen, screen
printing and drapery shop, vehicle hire, credit scheme and vegetable
sales).
• Conducting para-legal training for Village Court Magistrates/Peace
Officers. To date 16 women have graduated from this program.
• Child Care Centre for female employees.
• Maintenance for deserted wives and children.
• Counselling service for sexual abuse and domestic violence; and
• Conducting awareness on issues such as violence against women,
alcohol abuse and inappropriate behaviour of police.
Women’s Organisations
The Porgera District Women’s Association was established in 1989 initially
with seven women’s groups and over the last sixteen years has grown in
terms of membership (Figure 7). The Association now represents 150 groups
in the Porgera Piala District. The main focus of the association is on
education and training, business development and representation of women.

2.4 Hamata/Hidden Valley Mines
Figure 8: Hamata/Hidden Valley Mine sites
Source: Courtesy of Department of Mining, 2005
The Hamata/Hidden Valley Mines are located 250 kilometers northwest of
Port Moresby and are situated in the Watut Local Level Government (LLG)
Council area of the Bulolo District of the Morobe Province (Figure 8). The
land on which Hidden Valley Mine is situated, is shared by all customary
landowners from Nauti who belong to the Watut Tribe of Watut LLG and
Winima and Kuembu people of Biangai Tribe of Wau Rural LLG. The other
two LLGs sharing stakeholder status to the Hamata/Hidden Valley Projects
are Wau Rural LLG and Wau/Bulolo Urban LLG.
People and Culture
The Wau/Bulolo area of the Morobe Province have been exposed to mining
since the early 1920s and logging since the 1930s. As a result of the above,
influx of migrants started as early as the 1920s into Wau, Bulolo and Watut.
There is now a mixed community of people not only from the Biangai and
Watut tribes but also people from many parts of Morobe Province and PNG
living within the mines immediate impacted areas. Generally, there is no
control of settlers settling in Wau.
Impacts brought about by mining operations at Hamata and Hidden Valley
will not only have direct impacts on the ML and Easement landowners but
also direct and indirect impacts on the migrant communities living some
kilometers around the mine area and along the Watut River and Wau Bulolo
Road.
Appendices Page 92

Landowners from the Hamata/Hidden Valley Project, although from two
customary tribal groups, have formed only one Association called the
NAKUWI Landowner Association. (NA for Nauti, KU for Kuembu and WI for
Winima). There are two women representatives on this Association out of the
fourteen committee representative members.
The main sources of income for the local people are through the sale of
coffee and gold. Although there is a lot of cash in circulation in the area, the
level of living and the quality of life of the local people are still very low/poor.
Mine Support Arrangements
A Community Development Department has been set up by the Company to
work with and address social issues raised by the people impacted by the
mine activities. Some of the Family Development Programmes provided and
coordinated by this department are;
i. Literacy levels (of families to be improved). For sustainable
purposes, the department intends to utilise existing groups such as
the Women’s Associations to carry out these activities.
ii. Capacity building at village level
iii. Community Health Services (including health conditions of families
to be improved)
iv. Education and Literacy (awareness of national policies)
v. Agriculture (including food security for families to be sustained)
vi. Family incomes (supported by a Micro-Finance Scheme)
vii. Housing and Sanitation (Habitat for Humanity)
viii. Mother and Child Health and Immunisation
ix. Assistance to Village Based Attendants (VBAs)
x. HIV/AIDS, Drug Abuse and Violence
xi. Basic Skills Training (Management and Business training such as
basic Book Keeping)
xii. Kitchen Gardening (Backyard gardening – Encouraging women to
grow food and vegetables in their back yards).
xiii. Safety and Security (paralegal training, that is, teaching women
about the laws – knowing their rights)
To sustain these programmes and activities, the Company through the
Community Development Department utilises existing mechanisms and
institutions to deliver these programmes.
Women’s Organisations and Networks
Women from the Hamata/Hidden Valley ML and Easement landowner
villages do not have a separate Association. Though they have
representatives on the Landowner Association, they have Church Women’s
Groups and affiliate to their Church Networks and Village or Ward Women’s
Groups that affiliate to the LLG Women’s Associations. The LLG Women’s
Associations are part of the District, Provincial and National Council of
Women Network (Figure 9). The LLG Women’s Associations are made up all
Ward/Village Women’s Groups within each LLG.
Appendices Page 93

There are six (6) LLGs in the Bulolo District. Only three (3) LLGs have
stakeholder status to the Hamata Hidden Valley Project. That is highlighted
on the Bulolo District Council of Women network structure below.
Watut LLG has twelve (12) wards, Wau/Bulolo Urban has fourteen (14)
wards and Wau Rural LLG has Fifteen (15) wards.

2.5 Lihir Gold Mine
Figure 10: Open pit mining at Lihir Gold Mine

Lihir comprises of four groups of islands namely Niolam (now commonly
known as Lihir), Masahet, Mahur and Malie islands. The Lihir mine, which
is an open-pit mine (Figure 10) is located on the biggest island, which has a
total land area of 199.6 square kilometers. The immediate impacted areas
are namely Matakues village, Lipuko village, Putput villages Nos. 1 & 2,
Kapit village, Londolovit village and township, Kunaiye villages 1 & 2, and
Zuen village.
People and Culture
There are 7,100 people living in the Lihir group of islands, 5000 of those on
Lihir Inland. They survive through subsistence agriculture, supplemented by
a few cash crops. In addition to fish, their main source of food is a particular
species of bird which, while not unique to Lihir, is mainly located in the
rainforests there.
Lihirians live in a matrilineal society where mothers play a very important
role in the distribution of customary land within the lineage or clan.
However, this does not mean that such rights primarily belong to women,
rather, these rights belong to men. A woman typically inherits her rights;
such as they are, through her mother, while a man inherits his rights, which
are rather more substantial from his mother’s brothers (uncles). It is men,
not women, who effectively control or manage the distribution of land rights.
Mine Support Arrangements
Lihir Management Company has established a Social Development
Appendices Page 95

Department under its Community Development Office, which has a
Women’s Officer and until July 2004, a Women’s Superintendent was
recruited. Link between the two offices and the Women’s Association is very
much intact in terms of provision of advice, training programs and
workshop awareness. The Women’s Association and LMC Women’s Desk
collaborate to effectively provide programs such as visiting the communities
on a regular basis to conduct awareness on general issues affecting the
communities at large. Women’s development programmes are also provided
to respond to the general need of the community. Such programmes include
involvement of women leaders in Health and Nutrition Workshops; attending
combine fellowships; celebrating women’s activities and conducting basic
home care and management workshops.
Women’s Organisations and Networks
The Petztorme Women’s Association was established in 1991 to unit all
different Women’s Fellowship Groups throughout the Lihir group of Islands.
Churches represented are Catholic Women’s Fellowship, United Church
Women’s Fellowship, Pentecostal Women’s Fellowship and Dorcas Welfare
Group (SDA). There are 32 established women’s groups directly under these
main line churches, which are scattered throughout the Island. A very
effective network characterizes these groups (Figure 11).

2.6 Kainantu Gold Mine
Figure 12: Underground Mine Entrance, Kainantu Gold Mine
Source: Courtesy of Highlands Kainantu limited, 2005
The Kainantu Mine, which is an underground mine (Figure 12) is located
along the highlands plateau at 1400m above sea level. The project area
extends from Bilimoia (the impact community) at approximately 1920m,
north-northeast to the Gusap airstrip in the Ramu Valley, at 440m. Other
facilities like the construction camps and the processing plants are located
at the Kumian flats, a few minutes drive from the Ramu River.
The primary impacted community is Bilimoia, as ML 150 is where the
mining operation is. The AIG (Associated Infrastructure Group) is made up
of communities within the surrounds of LMP 78, ME 80 and 81, where the
process plant, accommodation, and tailings impoundment area is. The AIG
is made up of Unantu, Markham and Ramu villages.
People and Culture
Kainantu District is made up of people from three distinct language
groupings called the Agarabis, Kasups, and the Kamano speaking people.
The population that is directly impacted by the activities of the mine are
from the Agarabi Census Division and are mainly from the Konkua Road
within the Local Level Government Wards 11 and 12.
The estimated rural population is over 40, 000 to date, and they are spread
evenly throughout the higher Ramu Valley and the lower plains of Aiyura.
Cultural practices involving mainly bride price payment and death
ceremonies are still upheld and practiced widely up till now.
Overall, the Kainantu people are still moderately disadvantaged in terms of
access to basic services as well as geographical limitations of potential
Appendices Page 97

agricultural land.
Mine Support Arrangements
Highlands Kainantu Limited (HKL) has established a Gender Development
Programme, which oversees programmes concerning the welfare of women in
the impacted areas. The HKL during Mine Production will be working with
partners to implement life skills training programmes, micro-credit
programmes, agriculture, health and literacy programmes for the women.
HKL also supports local women by engaging them in small contracts such as
curtain sewing, catering and cleaning services. In terms of training and
capacity building, assistance is also provided to women to attend workshops
and trainings that are coordinated by churches such as the Evangelical
Lutheran Church (ELC) and the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA), who conduct
home economics training.
HKL through its Community Affairs Department has also assisted women by
establishing networks with other stakeholders.
Women’s Organisations and Networks
There are two women’s groups namely the Breido Women’s Association and
the AIG Women’s Association (Figure 13). The Breido Women’s Association is
a women’s association for the Bilimoia women, which comprises of three
small communities of Breuipa, Iburufa and Yogefa communities within the
Mining Lease (ML) 150 of the Kainantu Gold Project. Its membership is
approximately 650 women. The AIG Women’s Association on the other hand
is made up of women within the surrounding communities of LMP 78, ME
80 and ME 81 and it has approximately 1500 women. An umbrella
association called the Kainantu Gold Women’s Association was anticipated
for in the Memorandum Of Agreement (MOA), but due to some constraints,
it is yet to be established.
