Working closely with the Government of PNG (GoPNG), TSSP3 will build on the significant body of achievements, lessons, and relationships from the past 17 years of operation and will continue to contribute to the achievement of the overarching goal of: ‘A more effective, efficient, and inclusive transport system, enabling the economic and social development of PNG.’ Gender Equity, Disability Equity, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) and Social and Environmental Safeguards, Locally Led Development (LLD), Climate Change and Disaster Resilience (CCDR) and Monitoring, Evaluation, Research, Learning and Adapting (MERLA) are a key focus for the program and are integrated into all of TSSP3’s activities and operations.

The PMO is part of the Joint Implementation Unit (JIU), a multi-stakeholder team combining expertise from PNG Ports and the PMO, overseeing all aspects of project delivery and ensuring effective outcomes.

In particular, the Project Director will be expected to work on a day-to-day basis with the PNG Ports CEO, and the AIFFP project teams.
