Local and National Content Planning
Our team collaborates with clients to develop customized Local and National Content Plans tailored to their specific project requirements and regulatory obligations. We conduct thorough assessments of local capabilities, resources, and opportunities to identify areas for local content development and maximize socio-economic benefits for Papua New Guinean communities. Our plans outline strategies, targets, and actions for promoting local participation in project activities, including employment, procurement, training, capacity building, and business development opportunities.
Incorporated Land Group (ILG) Registration and Advocacy
We provide support to landowner groups in registering as Incorporated Land Groups (ILGs) to formalize their land rights and enable meaningful participation in project negotiations and benefit-sharing agreements. Our consultants offer advocacy services to raise awareness among landowners about the importance of ILG registration, facilitate the registration process, and empower ILGs to effectively advocate for their rights and interests.
Landowner Business Development
We assist landowner groups and individuals in identifying and capitalizing on business opportunities arising from project developments, including supply chain participation, joint ventures, and investment partnerships. Our team provides business advisory services, training, and mentorship programs to support landowners in developing sustainable enterprises, enhancing their entrepreneurial skills, and accessing finance and markets.
We work with clients to develop and implement strategies for maximising local employment and procurement opportunities across project activities. Our consultants assist clients in developing recruitment and procurement policies, procedures, and targets that prioritize the hiring of Papua New Guinean workers and suppliers, while ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Facilitation of Development Forums
We facilitate development forums and stakeholder engagements to foster dialogue, collaboration, and partnership between project developers, government agencies, local communities, and other stakeholders. Our team helps organize forums, workshops, and community meetings to provide opportunities for stakeholders to share information, discuss concerns, and co-create solutions for maximising local content and socio-economic development outcomes.
We conduct reviews and evaluations of National Content Plans to assess their effectiveness in achieving intended objectives and outcomes. Our consultants analyse key performance indicators, data, and feedback to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in National Content Plans and recommend adjustments or enhancements as needed.
