The Department of Provincial and Local Level Government Affairs (DPLGA) in Tari is currently focusing to implement its District Town Improvement Program (DTIP) in its districts, aimed at creating wealth and income earning opportunities for the rural majority. Since the introduction of the District Town Improvement Program in 2019 up till 2022, DPLGA has successfully delivered 21 impact projects at the cost of K25.5 million. According to a press statement, the District Town Improvement Program is aimed at transforming district head-quarters from mere administrative offices into economical hubs and commercial centers, basically to boost rural development and economic empowerment. DTIP is a capital investment project that was introduced in 2019, targeted at improving and developing district towns into economical hubs. Since Independence in 1975, most of the district towns were seen as mere administrative headquarters; however, through this DTIP concept the DPLGA now aims to convert all 89 plus 7 new districts into economical hubs to empower the people into building the country’s economy. Additionally, District Town Improvement Program aims to promote public, private and people partnership for the development of respective districts. Department of Provincial and Local Level Government Affairs is responsible for managing and supervising the implementation of the DTIP. This program was introduced by the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Government in response to a public outcry on the lack of service enabling infrastructures in district towns and has been identified as the biggest impediments in delivering social and economic services to the rural population. Furthermore, through the District Town Improvement Program, the National Government aims to empower local economics by guiding all capital investments on key infrastructure that will trigger economic growth at the district level, it will also transform administrative centres into district service and growth centres to drive-social economic growth and development into rural parts of the country.
