Is there any clarity on which authority will administer the ballot and registration for the ballot?

Interesting insights on author representation and the potential for bias in the evidence base! Were there no publications from university-affiliated authors? I'm surprised that such a category wouldn't appear in figure 2!

From Gigil Marme on TB control poorly funded by PNG’s Provincial Health Authorities July 4, 2024 at 3:49 pm

Hi Catherine, Thank you for your question. PNG has a generalised TB pattern. It means that TB is reported in all the 22 provinces. Furthermore, there are variations in TB epidemiology across the regions with some provinces much higher than others. For instance, the Western Province, which is the largest and most sparsely populated province in PNG, had a TB case notification rate (CNR) of 674 per 100,000 in 2016. This prevalence is much higher than the national trend of 359 per 100 000 in 2014. Our recent studies shows that TB is highly prevalent in Western Province (Daru), National Capital District (NCD), some parts of the Highlands Provinces and Madang. Generally, the Southern Region has the highest number and rate of TB notification. Promoting TB infection control measures in healthcare settings and overcrowded communities may prevent TB transmission and reduce the overall TB burden in PNG.

Thank you, Phoebe. It is unpleasant to think about but I'm surprised by the lack of discussion in the wider AID community here. Most of the the focus has been on AUKUS. But a Trump victory would raise lots of issues for Australia's development cooperation which are not contemplated in the current policy.

Great piece, Cam. Project 2025 is absolutely terrifying. Thanks for raising awareness about what's on the table.

Congratulations and thanks for exposing these serious child rights violations by both state and non-state actors. I hope member states will take this scourge seriously.

Thank you for informative and clear knowledge on TB, PNG. Could you kindly be specific on TB Statistics in each of the provinces in PNG, according to your research and studies undertaken on TB in PNG as to which is the leading province. Thank you.
