About the Program 

The Institutional Partnerships Program (IPP) commenced in 2017 and continues Australia’s long history in providing government-to-government assistance and institutional strengthening in PNG. 

From April 2022 the PNG IPP has been designed as a standalone investment implemented by Abt Associates (Abt) working closely with DFAT, Whole of Government (WoG) partners and Government of PNG counterpart agencies. 

The program will be focussed on ensuring the safety and wellbeing of Australian Government Entity (AGE) officials in PNG and supporting DFAT and AGE to maximise the benefits from government-to-government relationships in line with the principles of Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Partnership (CSEP) and Partnerships for Recovery, while also assisting AHC to leverage AGE experience into other DFAT investments.

Abt will provide program management and logistics support to WoG agencies participating in the PIPP. There are a small number of other Australian agencies working on sectoral programs who may access logistics services provided under the agreement between DFAT and the Abt.

Abt will provide core management services across:

• a. Program Implementation and Management
• b. Deployment Support and Logistics; and 
• c. PIPP Operations Management.

The Program & Logistics Coordinator will ensure mobilisation services and standards defined through the DFAT HRM (OCOS) and PIPP Operations Manual are met for all deployees and dependants as well as oversee and support a standard operating environment that allows for reliable remote communications support.
