Program Overview

The Strategic Health Infrastructure (SHI) Program is an Australian Government program funded under the Papua New Guinea Australia (PNGAus) Partnership. The program aims to design and deliver high-quality, resilient, and universally accessible health infrastructure projects with a significant focus on gender equality, disability and social inclusion, and adhere to Australia’s safeguarding policies and development effectiveness guidelines. In addition, the program’s infrastructure will incorporate sustainability and resiliency design elements to mitigate climate change forecasts and disaster risk outlooks. 

The lack of appropriate health facilities and safe, secure and accessible housing for health staff are significant challenges for PNG, particularly in regional and remote areas where 85 per cent of the population live. The current conditions and locations of healthcare infrastructure can compromise patient safety, reduce the quality of services and discourage health professionals from taking up essential roles. It is essential that health facilities are redeveloped and upgraded to ensure communities can access quality health services delivered by qualified health practitioners.

The SHI Program is working to improve health care services in two priority locations. In Lae, Morobe Province, the project will design and refurbish the GWARE building at ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital. In Daru, Western Province, the project will provide safe, secure and accessible accommodation for health workers and Provincial Health Authority staff with new Daru Hospital staff housing.

Project Summary

The RCEP Implementation Support Program (RISP), implemented through the Regional Trade for Development (RT4D) Facility, supports ASEAN Member States to realise the benefits of RCEP through capacity-building support and access to technical expertise.

The project 'Review of Viet Nam’s Regulatory Framework and Status of Trade in Services under RCEP' is approved under the AISP.  The project aims to support the effective implementation of Viet Nam’s commitments under the RCEP Trade in Services Chapter by strengthening institutional capacity, improving understanding of the regulatory framework governing trade in services, and providing evidence-based recommendations for future policy improvement. The project will:

• review Viet Nam’s implementation of its commitments under the RCEP Trade in Services Chapter, including relevant legislation, regulations, policies and trade data;
• assess the alignment between Viet Nam’s domestic regulatory framework and its RCEP commitments;
• identify implementation gaps, opportunities and relevant good regulatory practices;
• analyse Viet Nam’s trade in services with other RCEP Parties and, where data permit, benchmark Viet Nam against selected RCEP economies;
• consider relevant gender dimensions of selected services subsectors where sufficient evidence is available;
• undertake consultations with relevant ministries, government agencies, business associations and organisations representing women entrepreneurs or women-led businesses; and
• deliver a capacity-building workshop for relevant government officials and stakeholders.
