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.’

• 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) and Social and Environmental Safeguards, Locally Led Development (LLD), Climate Change and Disaster Resilience (CCDR) 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.
