What happens when more than 30 years of engineering experience from Japan meets Papua New Guinea's infrastructure challenges?

Together with his counterpart at Milne Bay Provincial Administration, JICA Volunteer Mr. Koji Nakanishi worked with engineers from the Department of Works and Highways (DoWH) to deliver a hands-on training on bridge and culvert maintenance from 4 to 5 August.

Combining local experience gained in Milne Bay Province with his experience in Japan, the training introduced preventive maintenance approaches and drone-assisted bridge inspections, emphasizing the shift from reactive maintenance to extend the lifespan of infrastructure, improve safety, and reduce long-term costs. Participants visited Laloki Bridge and Erima Flyover Bridge to put their new skills into practice with bridge inspection using drones.

JICA is proud to support PNG engineers in building the skills needed to maintain critical infrastructure for the future.

Learning together. Building together!
Please check out the shared experiences and reflections by the training participants;

“One of the things I learned and agreed was to detach gabion river training works to 20m and to grout the 100mm spacing with concrete. That's smart engineering works.” Steven Noah, Bridge Engineer

“I was fortunate to have participated in the emergency bridge inspection drill performed by JICA bridge expert. It was a really helpful and insightful drill as we learnt about identifying critical locations of the bridge structures for post- earthquake events. We were also told about making decisions on the closure of the bridge based on the severity of the damages. I appreciate it very much.” Fabian Pale, Bridge Engineer

“I appreciated the opportunity to participate in the training and found it beneficial overall. I would strongly encourage more training programs of this nature in the future, particularly those that are practical, technically relevant, and provide opportunities for PNG engineers and technical officers to learn from international experience and practices.’ Natasha Walo, Road Engineering

“Thank you to JICA and the organizers for organizing the training. The training was a new and very informative experience for me. Although there was a slight language barrier, I found the sessions engaging and valuable. I hope JICA will continue to organize more bridge design training opportunities in the future.” Kesian Tira, Bridge Engineering

“I would very much appreciate for the next training to capture load rating/limit inspection as explained during the training session where we would need to assess any bridge whether it be old or new so that it can carry heavy loads in an event a client wants to transport across the bridge without the bridge collapsing.” Junias Sorea, Bridge Engineer

On 16 August 2026, the Japanese Language Workshop and Japanese Speech Contest were held at the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG) with support from JICA Papua New Guinea Office.
A total of 13 contestants took part in the speech contest, sharing their interests, experiences, and future dreams in Japanese. Their speeches reflected a wide range of interests in Japan, including Japanese culture, manners, anime, and technology. Some contestants also spoke about their hope of visiting Japan in the future.

H.E. Mr. Hisanobu Mochizuki, Ambassador of Japan to Papua New Guinea, and Mr. Shirouzu, Chief Representative of JICA Papua New Guinea Office, attended the event and encouraged the students to continue learning Japanese and strengthening the friendship between PNG and Japan.

The event also provided a special opportunity for Mr. Kutomi, a newly arrived JICA Volunteer in Japanese-language education, to meet students from Sogeri National High School of Excellence, where he will begin his activities in September.

Mr. Kutomi was impressed by the students' enthusiasm and their willingness to challenge themselves with difficult Japanese expressions. He hopes to create lessons where students can experience the joy of using Japanese and communicating confidently through the language.

JICA will continue to support Japanese-language education and people-to-people exchange, helping to strengthen the friendship between Papua New Guinea and Japan.

🌊🌴 JICA Volunteer Drone View

This drone footage was captured by Nakanishi, a JICA Volunteer, on Samarai Island in Milne Bay Province.

In the early morning, clouds and rain drifting over the sea, together with a rainbow illuminated by the rising sun, created a breathtaking scene that seemed to connect the ocean, the sky, and the islands as one.

Through this video, we hope to share the beauty and wonder of Papua New Guinea’s natural environment with you. 🌈✨

JICA Volunteer Masaru Hara, who worked in vegetable production with the Eastern Highlands Provincial Division of Agriculture, Livestock & Fisheries (DALF), has completed his two-year assignment.

During his work, Hara and DALF officers tested green manure as a low-cost way to improve soil conditions for smallholder farmers. Among the crops tested, Crotalaria grew well and produced seeds locally, showing potential for farmers to continue using the method with less dependence on purchased inputs.

An important change also took place during the activity.
At first, Hara was the one explaining the technique to farmer leaders. Later, DALF officers themselves began conducting the training and sharing the knowledge with farmers.
Today, green manure trials are being continued not only at DALF demonstration sites, but also with farmer leaders in their communities.

Hara may be returning to Japan, but the activity remains in Eastern Highlands — with the officers and farmers who will continue developing and sharing it.

Seven (7) public servants from various government agencies have been selected to undertake specialized short-term training programs in Japan under JICA's Knowledge Co-Creation Program (KCCP). The training spans a wide range of priority sectors, including fisheries health (laboratory science and , maternal) h, climate change , and correctional facility management. [MI1.1]Course durations vary from three (3) to six (6) weeks, depending on the specialization and level of the program.

Each program brings together participants from a range of countries, creating a dynamic environment for cross-country learning. This setting allows officers to compare approaches, build professional networks,
and return home with both technical knowledge and a broader regional perspective on the issues they work on.

JICA remains committed to its longstanding partnership with Papua New Guinea and is proud to share its development experience, knowledge, and technology in support of the country's sustainable growth. My objective is to gain a deeper understanding of Japan's correctional and prison management systems, particularly in the areas of inmate rehabilitation, skills development, and social reintegration. I also look forward to exchanging knowledge and sharing PNG’s experiences and practices in offender rehabilitation and correctional management. (Mr. Raymond Loi, Manager, PNG Correctional Institute).

These capacity-building initiatives are designed to strengthen the skills and knowledge of public servants, enabling them to contribute more effectively to policy development, service delivery, and the socio-economic advancement of Papua New Guinea. JICA wishes all participants continued success in their training in Japan.

What does it take to protect a Department For Community Development and Religiony's history for future generations?

Recently, a JICA Volunteer attached to the J.K. McCarthy Museum (JKMM) joined museum staff on a visit to Raipinka Lutheran Church near Kainantu in Eastern Highlands Province.

Built around the 1930s and now more than 90 years old, the church is one of the Highlands' important historic landmarks. Together with former missionary houses, burial grounds, historical records, and local traditions, it forms a unique cultural heritage landscape that reflects the faith, history, and identity of the community.

During the visit, an important milestone was reached with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea (ELCPNG), the National Museum & Art Gallery of Papua New Guinea (NMAG), and the J.K. McCarthy Museum (JKMM). The agreement reflects the collaborative efforts of the three organizations, with support and coordination provided by NMAG and Mr. Vincent Pou of JKMM. The initiative aims to safeguard not only historic buildings and sites, but also oral histories, traditional knowledge, and community memories that connect past, present, and future generations.

For the volunteer, the experience underscored that cultural heritage conservation is about much more than preserving the past. It is also about empowering communities, strengthening local pride, and ensuring that valuable knowledge and traditions are passed on to future generations.

As an ICT specialist working with JKMM, he hopes to contribute to these efforts through digital documentation, preservation, and information management. By supporting the recording and accessibility of cultural resources, he aims to help ensure that Papua New Guinea's rich heritage remains available and meaningful for generations to come.
