From David Vorst on What’s missing in the facilities debate
David
Facilities rarely challenge the narrative - in fact more often than not they support or strengthen it. If you want to know whether a facility such as HHISP is successful (apart from making handsome profits for ABT) measure things like maternal mortality, paediatric case mortality not how many certificates were handed out and whether the morning tea Iced VoVo biscuits were fresh. Spend the money at the pointy end, insist on accountability and stop supporting the central narrative.
From Minol on PNG’s SME policy: the right aim, but dubious means
Papua New Guinea has been explored enough! I am in full on support of the SME Policy and Yes, I definitely agree that it is Protectionist in nature like Trump's ideology of making America Great Again; Take Back PNG has the same ring to it.
From JOELSON MAODINA ANERE on Changing prime ministers in PNG: does party size matter?
Thanks Bro, Michael Kabuni. Section 63 of the OLIPPAC law is very interesting and I think the new government maybe should have the section reworded for the purposes of explicit clarity. But I don't think it should be repelled. On the contrary, I think it should be looked into have it expounded upon through sub-clause(s).
From JOELSON MAODINA ANERE on Draining the Waigani swamp: a congratulatory message to Prime Minister Hon James Marape
Well, I think Sam Koim didn't do too bad with the sign posts if you don't mind me saying.
He should have added that there different character traits in every sign post. However, I am pretty certain the new Prime Minister grasp the message far more easily than most.

From Julie Mundy on Market systems and social protection approaches to sustained exits from poverty: can we combine the best of both?
Great article Alwyn - have never quite understood why people have to be stuck in their own siloed paradigms of what is 'the right way', when bringing together thinking from diverse perspectives can only lead to more integrated and rigorous solutions. I saw this with the advent of health social franchising over a decade ago - a great idea in principle but without thought as to how to sustain the quality compliance aspects of add - on services which did not generate sufficient income for providers to justify their own investment.... As to the sustainable impact of such interventions - well, that still needs to play out, but wonderful to see your teams working and thinking differently.

From Joyce Leo on Australian PM announces new Pacific Labour Scheme
Hi Camellia,
I extremely like and read your comments and highly like to chat to you to recruit seasonal workers from the Pacific.
From Rani Noerhadhie on Market systems and social protection approaches to sustained exits from poverty: can we combine the best of both?
Interesting and encouraging development that is worth watching for. Having had the experience of managing programs from both camps, I am glad that there are more willingness to try out something new and taking calculated risks to keep pace with the changing landscape of the development sector. Congrats Alwyn.
