Building resilience in mine impacted communities through community capitals: Health service delivery in Papua New Guinea
Mining is generally perceived to bring benefits through compensation, royalty payments and other types of assistance to the landowners and surrounding communities. In Papua New Guinea, however, many mining communities lack access to basic services, including health. This paper presents results from a study conducted in three mine-impacted communities in Papua New Guinea based on building resilience through community capitals collaboratively by the stakeholders. This endeavour can sustain service delivery in all stages of mining: beginning, operational and beyond mine closure. To achieve sustainable communities, resilience must be built through the development and interaction of these capitals.
Education, child health, and mining: Evidence from Papua New Guinea
This paper examines sustainable development challenges in Papua New Guinea, focusing on education and child health. Regional disparities between mining and non-mining areas are assessed and the economic potential and social concerns associated with mining are reviewed. Using data from the Demographic and Health Survey, the results of the study indicate that mining provinces exhibit poorer outcomes on proxies for human capital, child health, asset ownership, access to public goods and state capacity. In addition, a comparative analysis with Papua, Indonesia sheds light on the multifaceted challenges faced by Papua New Guinea in achieving sustainable development.
