The JICA Country-Specific Training Program for Papua New Guinea (PNG) entitled “Capacity Development in Port Policy and Administration (Phase 2)” took place over 12 days from January 14 to January 25, 2025.

Five participants from the PNG Department of Transport visited Japan to enhance their knowledge and skills in information and data driven port policy development. The training included learning about the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism’s port data processing policies, as well as examining the critical role of ports in Japan’s recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
