About TSSP Phase 3
The PNG–Australia Transport Sector Support Program Phase 3 (TSSP3) is a critical, high-priority Australian investment that stands to make a major contribution to PNG development outcomes.
Working closely with the Government of PNG (GoPNG), TSSP3 will build on the significant body of achievements, lessons and relationships from the past 17 years of operation and will continue to contribute to the achievement of the overarching goal of:
‘A more effective, efficient, and inclusive transport system, enabling the economic and social development of PNG.’
TSSP3 has three End of Program Outcomes (EOPOs) which are expected to be achieved over the initial five-year duration of the program. They are as follows:
· EOPO 1: Better Transport System Management. Targeted GoPNG transport sector agencies are supported to more efficiently, effectively, and inclusively plan, budget, and manage the transport system
· EOPO 2: Improved Safety Standards and Coordination. Australian assistance to targeted GoPNG transport sector agencies contributes to improving the policy and regulatory environment to enable safety for all and foster greater sector coordination
· EOPO 3: Expanded, Sustainable and Affordable Assets. Investment in transport assets is expanded, and PNG transport sector actors apply their improved capability to deliver and maintain such assets.
Gender equity, disability equity, and social inclusion (GEDSI), social and environmental safeguards, locally led development (LLD) and monitoring, evaluation, research, learning and adapting (MERLA) are a key focus for the program and are integrated into all of TSSP3’s activities and operations.
This phase of TSSP3 will run from November 2023 to November 2028.
The Role
The Climate Finance Adviser (Adviser) will support TSSP3 and PNG transport sector agencies (TSAs) to identify and develop financing pathways for climate-resilient transport infrastructure through international climate finance mechanisms.

Working in close partnership with GoPNG agencies, the Adviser will help embed climate finance readiness within the sector and ensure proposed investments are consistent with national strategies, TSSP3 objectives, and PNG’s long-term vision for an effective, efficient, and climate-resilient transport system.
