Commonwealth Local Government Forum (CLGF) operates the Good Practice Scheme in PNG from its pacific office in Suva, Fiji. LGMA is CLGF’s technical advisor in the pacific, arranging support for the Good Practice Scheme (GPS) amongst Australian local governments.
This international assistance program is like no other professional development program. It is not possible to simulate either the context or the challenges our members face when working in developing communities such as those in PNG. Our members return from their work assignments better people and better employers with far more empathy, humility and problem solving skills.
The CLGF Good Practice Scheme was established in PNG in 2000 with the aim of:
•Addressing the challenges and realities faced by urban local level governments in PNG in a rapidly changing environment;
•Building the capacity within and amongst councils to improve management capacity of participating local government practitioners and the delivery of basic municipal services to local communities;
•Drawing on the skills and expertise of Australian councils combining these with the skills of PNG councils; and
•Fostering the development of council-to-council and peer-to-peer partnerships built on mutually agreed upon capacity building needs.
