▼ Forty years post-independence, Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) development aspirations remain unmet. Important social and human development indicators have stagnated, as has the delivery of basic public services, especially for PNG’s large rural populace. Over the last decade, PNG has experienced strong economic growth from an extended resource boom. Much of the increased revenues generated have been invested into public expenditure reforms aimed at improving service delivery through decentralised governance arrangements. This thesis questions whether the significantly increased public expenditure commitments to service delivery have been translated into improved health services on the ground. A mixed methods approach was adopted that involved undertaking PNG’s largest and most comprehensive health expenditure tracking and facility survey, combined with in-depth case studies that mapped the implementation of national budgets to front-line service providers, and actual health delivery to communities. This thesis makes a significant contribution to research on the changing political economy of service delivery in PNG. It delivers a policy relevant and empirically grounded analysis of the state of health services and the politics that have driven decentralisation reforms. New findings are presented on the status of PNG’s health clinics, how they receive funding, raise revenue and the services that are delivered. Comparative survey data indicates that health service delivery has largely declined over the last decade, despite huge increases in recurrent and development health budgets. It is argued that the weak implementation of previous and current decentralisation reforms have contributed to widespread inefficiencies and inequalities in the delivery of health services across PNG. The implications of these findings are analysed in the context of contemporary health expenditure reforms in PNG, which are increasingly politicised and appear destined to repeat past failures. This thesis finds that PNG’s major health policies are poorly targeted, misaligned with strengthening the health system, and do not address weaknesses in health financing. In particular, PNG members of parliament have directed ever-increasing constituency development funds to their electorates and have enacted legislative reforms that deliver greater control over the allocation of resources and service delivery priorities for their respective districts. This entrenches the de facto arrangements of the past, meaning that local politics, rather than national policy guidelines, increasingly determine how expenditure reforms are implemented on the ground. These changing governance arrangements have significant implications for the health sector, risking greater fragmentation of an already weak health system. More broadly, the…

▼ This thesis compares international and local perspectives on corruption in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It fills a gap in our understanding about corruption an anti-corruption: there have been few attempts to compare international and local perspectives on corruption within the academic literature; no studies of this kind have been undertaken in PNG. The thesis develops a typology of corruption based on the academic literature on corruption. This typology classifies perspectives on corruption into five types - legal, public office, economic, moral and critical. To determine how local and international actors in PNG reflect these types, primary research was undertaken with two groups of people. First, semi-structured interviews, informal interviews and observations were undertaken with those associated with four anti-corruption organisations in PNG - Transparency International Papua New Guinea (TI PNG), the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), the Ombudsman Commission of Papua New Guinea (OC PNG) and a coalition of local non government organisations called The Non-Governmental Organisations and Civil Society Coalition ('The Coalition'). The second group comprised rural Papua New Guineans in four provinces in the country; focus group discussions, supported by observations, were conducted with this group. Both groups were asked to evaluate a set of scenarios that described possible corruption, a research approach unique to this thesis. Four key conclusions emerge from this analysis. First, the perspective on corruption that anti-corruption organisations reflected was, in part, a product of their place in the modem international anti-corruption industry. The group most marginalised within the industry - The Coalition - reflected a perspective more attuned to the cultural and structural limitations facing those involved in corruption (the moral perspective). More established organisations - TI PNG, AusAID and the OC PNG - reflected perspectives that were more concerned with state rules and laws (the public office and legal perspectives). Second, most rural respondents aligned to international anti-corruption agencies concerns about corruption in the government; this helps explain the support of these organisations and the expansion of the anti-corruption industry in PNG. Despite this alignment there were significant differences between rural respondents and anti-corruption organisations perspectives on corruption; the third conclusion suggests that this disconnect has lead to an inadequate response to rural people's broader social, environmental and economic concerns. Finally, it concludes that a group of critical scholars (associated with the critical perspective) offer important insights into we how we should understand the anti-corruption industry. These findings collectively offer a nuanced account of the ways in which corruption is thought about, researched and addressed, and so challenge the often one-dimensional and universalising way in which many academics and those in the anti-corruption…

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Papua New Guinea (PNG) has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the Pacific Region. My thesis is that safe birthing is a human right and this has been denied to many PNG women. My research question: What can be done to improve maternal health in PNG? is in line with Global Millennium Development Goal 5 and favoured as a community development research approach which allowed me to research alongside fourteen women. Participatory action research (PAR) as articulated by Koch and Kralik was conducted in two phases. Phase One was an apprenticeship in PAR process conducted in Newcastle under the guidance of the PhD supervisors. Storytelling and facilitating group processes were data generation and analysis strategies learned. The objectives for Phase Two were: (1) to collaboratively explore maternal health, examine and describe factors and contexts that are associated with maternal mortality in Lomakunauru village, PNG; and (2) to build awareness about maternal mortality through the PAR process and alongside village women and collaboratively decide on action and /or reform strategies. Fourteen women told their stories about pregnancy and birthing: four English speaking PNG women living in Newcastle (Phase 1) and ten Lomakunauru village women speaking their own languages (Phase 2). The student researcher is indigenous to this area and speaks several local languages. Stories were transcribed verbatim and each story was returned to the women for their validation and ownership. Storied data were analysed and commonalities in village women‘s experiences were revealed. Women were voiceless in their birthing process. Rural populations are thinly spread and health services are located many kilometres away, often across open seas. Hence the distance a woman needed to travel to gain access to maternal care was one of the major problems recognised. Lack of support from husbands during birthing was common and not surprising in patriarchal communities. Women‘s preference for gender specific care was noted. Nurses assisting women during the intrapartum process were portrayed as perpetrators of negligence and/or abuse. Spiritual devotion and trust in God during birthing gave women strength. In this Seventh Day Adventist village abortion as a birth control measure was unacceptable. Village women were brought together to discuss ways to promote maternal health. Awareness was raised about the problems associated with maternal mortality. Resultant action was that women wanted to build an accessible Health Post in the centre of the village. The Health Post would be run by traditional birthing attendants (TBAs). Ten women in this PAR group volunteered to complete TBA educational preparation. This study shows what is possible when women are given a voice. Grass roots organizations led by women are likely to be sustainable in the promotion of maternal health. Educational preparation of TBAs is one of the recommendations given because professional registered midwives are not affordable…

▼ Broadband telecommunication services are growing rapidly and spreading at a remarkable pace. Globally, mobile phones are one of the most universally available technologies today that have most affected people’s lives, both in developed and developing countries. This mode of communication has spread at such an astonishing rate that it has leapfrogged certain stages of communication in some developing countries. The introduction and use of mobile phones in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a new phenomenon. Many people, both in rural and urban parts of the country, have come to embrace this wholeheartedly. The mobile phone has become a necessity in every home and can be found almost everywhere in the country, whether in urban centres or the most isolated parts of the country. In rural areas where basic government services have progressively ceased to exist, people perceive the mobile phone as a beacon of hope that keeps them in touch with the outside world, giving them a new lease of life. The mobile phone has in a remarkable way lessened the ever increasing 'digital divide' between the haves and have-nots in a country where computers and fixed-line telephones were viewed as luxury items affordable only by the well-to-do and working people. Research shows that mobile phones are useful for people both in developed and developing countries. It is a means of conducting business and a potential tool for delivery of basic services. This development communication case study is based around the Closed User Group (CUG) service, a telecommunication product introduced to the country by Ireland-based mobile communication transnational, Digicel. This CUG service was introduced to the provincial health sector by the Western Highlands Provincial Health Authority (WHPHA), by equipping health care workers (HCW) with mobile phones to enable ease of communication among the workers and between health facilities in the province. This study using, phenomenology as part of the research framework, was undertaken to discover if the flow of communication through mobile phones can assist to meet the unique challenges of delivering health services to the rural areas.

▼ A field study of five months has been undertaken to determine the causal or predisposing factors related to the prevalence of undernutrition in the Lujere infants and children of Papua New Guinea. Strategies used in the field study include: • visiting eight venues and weighing infants from fifteen villages at regular intervals, variation in the weighing schedule occurred and are discussed • participant observations which incorporated unstructured interviews and ethnographic recordings. • the maintenance of a daily journal, in which all activities and cultural interactions related to the study were noted, has been used as a basis for the descriptive sections of the field study. An anthropological and a nursing perspective has been combined into a "transcultural" nursing approach. The results obtained through these field work strategies show: of 477 infants regularly weighed 27.25% of the infants were seen as well nourished and 72.75% suffered from undernutrition in varying degrees. 19.25% of the undernourished infants were deemed to suffer from severe undernutrition. Causal factors for the high percentage of undernutrition were seen to be related to: • insufficiencies in subsistence patterns mainly due to climatic factors which govern when hunting, gathering, fishing and gardening activities take Place. • the well developed cultural patterns which determined what portion of the available foods were given to infants and children, and when it was culturally acceptable for them to be given • incongruity in relation to health care delivery between the care givers and receivers. The dominant features here were the two different philosophies of causality and treatment of disease. This incongruity generally tended to prolong the duration of undernutrition experienced by Lujere infants and children. These factors need urgent attention and it is recommended that, together with health care givers, the Lujere people need to become aware of and encouraged to use community self care. This self care should amalgamate salient aspects of their own care ideas with prominent aspects of the western health care system.

▼ This study aims to uncover the determinants influencing health outcomes and investigates health service delivery in Papua New Guinea (PNG) within the context of women and their health. Despite extensive research on health and health service delivery in PNG over the past three decades, little or no improvement has been made to attain better health outcomes. Various factors which were found to contribute to PNG’s poor health outcomes, include poor financial management and resource allocation, complex institutional structures and challenges following government’s reform policies, lack of capacity, rugged geographical conditions and lack of essential infrastructure. These are mainly provider side factors with experiences of health service users largely understudied. My research adopts qualitative data collection methods, including focus groups discussions, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, observations, body-mapping exercises and illness narratives to understand women and their health service usage, and health workers providing health care. Fieldwork was conducted in three geographically, linguistically, culturally and religiously diverse locations in PNG. Over 100 people participated, including health workers and women. The subsequent data was analysed and showed that women were prevented from using health services by factors existing on user and provider side, such as financial constraints, unfriendly health workers, and long waiting time at health facilities. Their personal values encouraged them to seek health care, such as consideration of familial responsibilities and trust in health workers. Although determinants were similar across the three locations, the degree of influence of the determinants varied in the context of the geographical and socio-economic environments. Medical pluralism exists in PNG with a large number of women using natural therapies and home remedies in rural and urban areas. Informal agencies were influential sources of their health knowledge. Health was narrowly confined to biomedicine and efforts to improve health outcomes handled solely by the health sector. However, health outcomes are not the result of use of biomedical health services alone but result of economic policies, political systems, educational programmes, social and cultural beliefs and practices regarding wellbeing. Thus, health outcomes need not be confined to biomedical disciplines but be a multidisciplinary and multisectoral responsibility, involving formal and informal institutions impacting all determinants and dimensions of people’s health. Intersectoral collaboration between relevant disciplines, sectors and agencies at various levels are suggested in recognition of this. Many factors discussed in this study are likely to be amenable to interventions that are beyond the scope of…

▼ Women’s empowerment is the most recent approach to women in development. The inclusion of women’s empowerment in development policies has recently gained traction in Papua New Guinea (PNG). However, the effectiveness of such policies has been questioned in its efforts to support local women to improve their lives. This study was undertaken to understand Australia’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) to PNG in terms of the contribution of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to supporting women’s empowerment in Oro province through the implementation of its Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Strategy 2016. With the huge gender inequality gap in PNG and the rise in Gender-Based Violence (GBV), women’s empowerment is an approach that can contribute to helping local women improve their lives. The purpose of this study was to understand the trickle-down effect of Australia’s ODA to subnational organisations in PNG, and its contributions to women’s empowerment in Oro province. The study used a qualitative approach involving policy document reviews and interviews with research participants. The key findings from this study show that there is no direct support to local women’s organisations in Oro province either from DFAT or the PNG government; there are some issues with implementation and ownership of DFAT’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Strategy and the PNG government’s gender policies in Oro province; and that women’s coalitions can be a vehicle for change in local communities in Oro province. This study offers benefits to DFAT programmes in PNG, and to national government agencies tasked to review their gender policies; as well as the Oro Provincial Administration; the Oro Provincial Government; and the Oro Provincial Council of Women. The study suggests topics for further research. It also suggests that DFAT’s Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment Strategy, and its associated funding have the potential to improve women’s lives in Oro province and PNG more broadly.

▼ Papua New Guinea is among other developing countries that are faced with a critical shortage in human resources in health, specifically nurses, and rural areas are the most affected. Initially, and perhaps unsurprisingly, there were only two relevant studies that directly related to Papua New Guinea in this area based on the literature search. The first of these two studies was focused on nurses and the social aspect of rural motivation compared to the other which was focused on rural health professionals in general. Nevertheless, other research studies were eventually found from other developing countries such as certain Pacific, African and Latin American countries that served to assist in focusing the research on the chosen topic. This descriptive-exploratory study set out to explore the sustaining factors that influenced existing nurses to remain (or otherwise) in their work in Papua New Guinea’s rural areas. As such, the study involves 10 rural nurses with over two years of rural work experience in two different organisations; government and church. The interviews were semi-structured and were designed to explore the motivating factors for rural nurses and how any challenges, or demotivating factors, were overcome. The interviews were conducted in the common spoken language Tok Pisin which was translated into English, transcribed and analysed thematically. Overall the study found that rural nurses are disadvantaged because they struggle with limited resources to deliver effective health care, and they also face several personal challenges which are often overlooked. The main findings are categorised under two major themes, 1) safety and 2) socioeconomic, and each are explored by further exploration of the themes and sub-themes that are evident in both. The implications of this study are examined, including recommendations, to develop policies that are designed to address the ongoing needs of rural nurses in Papua New Guinea.

▼ Television in Papua New Guinea strives to exist in a pluralistic society characterised by diverse local cultures and traditions that blend with Western influences. It is important to understand the role of television and its influence on such a pluralistic country as it continues to go through the process of nation building. Global advances in media and technology that will one day penetrate deep into such societies will need to be understood; however, this may not be possible without first setting the context for television, which is tied into the country’s post-colonial history. This study looks at television news producers and audiences in regard to the encoding/decoding model, in order to understand the role television has played in Papua New Guinea in terms of nation building. There is, however, very little literature on television news producers and audiences in PNG. As such, an explorative approach was taken to look into the encoding and decoding of EMTV news by journalists and student audiences. The main questions addressed in this thesis are: Why do journalists make/report/produce news? How do journalist make/report/produce news? Why do student audiences watch news? How do student audiences watch news? What meanings are encoded by journalists onto the news discourse? What implications can be drawn from the news discourse? What meanings do student audiences decode from the news discourse? The theoretical frameworks that inform this research include the “encoding/decoding” model of active audiences and the De-Westernizing Media model. A mixed method approach was taken, where four research methods were employed to look into encoding and decoding of EMTV news throughout its circuit of communication. In-depth interviews were carried out with four journalists, to understand their encoding roles, their personal motivations for the job, their perception of newsworthiness and the meanings they encode onto the news discourse. A total of 135 questionnaires were completed by student audiences, and a focus group was held with eight students. These were to understand audience encoding roles and experiences, their personal motivations for watching, their perception of newsworthiness, the meanings they decode and their overall perception of EMTV news. To further understand meanings within news discourse, a discourse analysis was carried out on a representative news sample to identify the implications embedded in the representative news bulletin. By the end of the research, and after collating and analysing the data it was concluded that EMTV news has contributed negatively to nation building because of its focus on Western news values. Through its coverage of bad news or negative stories, it has created a negative image of the country and its people. EMTV news reports are biased in their choice of cultural representation, rather than blending the country’s rich and diverse cultures into creating a unified hegemonic identity. As a result, provincial identities emerge among student audiences, rather than a national… Advisors/Committee Members: Lealand, Geoff (advisor).

▼ This study examines how political governance of liquid fuels at the institutional level contributes to energy security in Papua New Guinea (PNG) from a political economic perspective. An interpretive methodology and critical case analysis design were used to analyse LNG energy governance regime (policies, legislation, and institutions) and its relationship with energy security. The research design involved analysis of participants’ observations and documents in relation to the critical cases (instances) in the practice of the energy regime under the Somare and O’Neill governments between 2002 and 2017. By using the characteristics of the Quality Energy Governance Framework (QEGF) which emerged from the analysis of the literature on energy governance and energy security, this study shared a new policy insight that energy security is actually created through the interactions that occur between political actors and the institutions and processes of energy governance. The study found that energy governance is a system of interacting institutions, policies and legislation created by the political institutions for the purpose of achieving economic efficiency in order to produce public value. The effective functioning of this system depends on the quality of the political institutions. A strong political institution constructs a quality policy regime which, in turn, translates into operational and adaptive qualities of an energy regime that enhances energy security. Alternatively, where a political institution is weak, the operational and adaptive qualities of the energy governance system are also incrementally diminished, thus generating energy insecurity, which, in turn, affects development outcomes. Accordingly, the study concludes that in PNG the qualities of the energy governance system did not seem to effectively function efficiently as a whole due to the political-economic interests and non-compliance to the institutional qualities. This, in turn, has had the effect of generating energy insecurity rather than enhancing energy security. In effect, the practices associated with the formal governance arrangements have failed to deliver a consistent and predictable governance system for PNG LNG and development outcomes have suffered as a result. The social interaction of political and economic actors and their interests in the energy governance system is complex and quite difficult to predict, resulting in an unstable energy regime. Given the unpredictability of this energy regime, political reform should assume primacy as a first order priority to withstand emerging energy governance issues and challenges that might contribute to energy insecurity.

▼ Background Providing social support for women during labour and birth has benefits for both women and babies. Social support from family members or friends during labour and birth is practised in many developed countries as well as a few developing countries. Traditionally in Papua New Guinea (PNG), women provide support to women in labour in the village settings. Women in labour are cared for by immediate family members and relatives as well as close friends. In only very few places the birthing woman is left alone to care for herself and labour alone. In hospitals throughout PNG however, women are not provided with such support during labour and give birth alone. Aim The aim of the study was to introduce support in labour by a person of the women’s choice at the maternity unit of Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH). The study also aimed to examine the challenges associated with undertaking a change such as support in labour using Greenhalgh’s diagram as the model identifying all aspects of Diffusion of Innovation theory. Method A descriptive study using qualitative data was undertaken. Data were collected from midwives and birthing women prior to the implementation of providing support in labour through surveys and observation of practice in the Labour Ward. The intervention of providing support in labour by a person of the birthing woman’s choice was implemented for eight weeks. During the implementation of intervention support in labour, further observations were undertaken of the practice in the Labour Ward. Support persons and the women were interviewed after they had given birth. Data were also collected from midwives after the implementation process of support in labour. Findings The majority of women and their support persons agreed that providing support in labour had benefits for them. Support in labour provided a valued opportunity to be with their loved ones. Midwives were unable to provide support because of the busy nature of their work and the limited staffing. Women wanted to have support in labour in the Labour Ward of PMGH. The most preferred person to provide support was their mother, followed by their husband, and others, such as an aunt, grandmother, friend or mother-in-law. Despite these positive findings, providing support in labour was hard to implement. Approximately half the midwives did not support the implementation although this reluctance was often hidden. The theory of diffusion of innovation was used to analyse why support in labour was difficult to implement. The process highlighted that the key attributes for innovation adoption were not totally adopted by the midwives. Though some of the influences that help spread innovation were implemented, such as the use of champions, formal and informal engagement and the use of evidence, the prevailing organisational culture was a strong negative influence and was the main reason for midwives not accepting the innovation of support in labour. Implications for practice The findings revealed that the…

▼ Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) has been argued to have a significant role as a strategy for sustainable resource management. TEK in this context refers to all aspects of indigenous knowledge and practice related to human interactions with the environment, and is particularly important in developing countries, where significant tensions exist between indigenous ways of life and capitalistic economic development. This research explored the perceptions of indigenous Papua New Guineans about a relationship between TEK and sustainability, the role of education in using TEK in sustainable resource management, and the extent to which existing education and sustainable resource management policies emphasise TEK. Twenty-four participants were invited from stakeholder groups involved in natural resource management, such as community members, educators, conservation practitioners, policy makers and resource developers. This qualitative study combined elements of both interpretivism and critical theory to understand and interpret participants’ perceptions of the challenges, limitations and management strategies for sustainable natural resource management using TEK. These approaches were informed by the literature on TEK and sustainability in developing the research design. Data was collected in two phases through semi-structured interviews and follow-up workshops and critically analysed using analysis of themes that emerged from the data and the literature. The findings indicated that TEK in the indigenous Papua New Guinean context led to a sustainable way of life through exercising the values of respect, responsibility and reciprocity for continuity. TEK was found to be a way of life that used holistic approaches of maintaining connection to land and other resources, and ensuring these were equitably accessed to meet social, cultural and physical human needs. This also showed that sustainability was embedded in every social and environmental aspect of TEK. The findings indicated that TEK had a crucial role in educating about sustainability through empowering and encouraging self-reflective learning among its users. A combination of formal, informal and non-formal education can engage and involve TEK users and learners to reflect on their beliefs and practices, develop positive attitudes and approaches towards sustainable resource management and keep TEK knowledge alive. The findings showed that existing policies related to education and sustainable resource management do not sufficiently include emphasis on TEK. Policy has a role in empowering communities through reinforcing TEK principles in education, and in decision-making and implementation for sustainable resource management. This study highlighted the importance of TEK as a significant approach to sustainability in the indigenous Papua New Guinean context for generations past. The application of TEK principles of respect, responsibility and reciprocity could be incorporated into formal and non-formal education. These principles could also achieve… Advisors/Committee Members: Eames, Chris W (advisor), Kurian, Priya A (advisor).

▼ The Papua New Guinean (PNG) landscape is young and rapidly evolving, with high uplift rates and precipitation rates that exceed 10 m/yr producing high erosion rates. Consequently, the Gulf of Papua, an active foreland basin in southern PNG, receives a large terrigenous sediment flux of ~384 Mt/yr. The fresh and tectonically active Papuan landscape makes the Gulf an ideal location for studying tectonic and climatic impacts on source-to-sink surface processes and basin stratigraphy. This thesis aims to (1) constrain a range of parameters, including tectonic uplift rates, upland erodibility and marine sediment distribution, in order to calibrate a numerical model simulating the Late Quaternary landscape evolution of the Gulf of Papua foreland basin. In addition, this study aims to (2) use the calibrated model to identify temporal and spatial patterns in erosion, fluvial sediment transportation and sediment distribution and composition in the basin. This thesis uses the open-source landscape evolution code Badlands to simulate surface processes in PNG. However, to simulate source-to-sink sediment transfer in the Gulf of Papua it was first necessary to constrain a range of parameters with tectonic and geological constraints specific to the basin. The magnitude, timing and spatial variations in uplift across the Papuan Peninsula were constrained using the present-day elevation of remnants of late Miocene volcanics that were deposited near sea level during the Miocene and have subsequently been uplifted. To constrain upland erodibilities, a series of simulations of the landscape evolution of the Gulf of Papua were run in Badlands, testing the impact of a range of erodibility coefficients on the sediment flux into the Gulf. The sediment loads of simulated rivers were compared to the present-day natural sediment loads of the Fly, Kikori and Purari Rivers to find both an averaged erodibility coefficient for the Gulf of Papua catchment and lithology-specific coefficients. Comparing simulation results to observed sediment accumulation rates in the deep-sea Gulf assisted in constraining the distribution of sediment in the marine environment in Badlands. The calibrated model was then used to simulate the sediment routing system in the Gulf of Papua catchment. Results show an increase in the Plio-Quaternary uplift rate from negligible at sea level along the south-western coast of the Papuan Peninsula to > 600 m/Myr in the peaks of the Owen Stanley Range. Comparisons with present-day fluvial sediment loads constrain the averaged erodibility coefficient in Badlands for the Gulf of Papua to within the range 5.53 – 7.41 x 10−6 yr−1, with an estimated averaged erodibility coefficient of ~7 x 10−6 yr−1 for a resolution of 500 m. Erodibility coefficients for specific lithologies range from ~6.5 x 10−6 yr−1 for metamorphics and granites to ~13.0 x 10−6 yr−1 for soft sediments. Subsequently, the marine accommodation variable was constrained to within the range 0.005 − 0.009, so that the largest depocentres in the Gulf are on the…

▼ The value and applicability of western management theories and practices to the developing world is rarely discussed within the current rush to globalise the world economies, capture untapped wealth and seek to establish businesses within indigenous societies. This is especially relevant to the use of Voice of the Customer (VOC) methods and tools when applied to indigenous peoples and service organisations, where customer information is used to design or improve services. There has been limited concentration and much debate as to whether VOC tools are as effective as anticipated, and can solve the unique problems that appear when used in unfamiliar diverse cultures in developing countries. A risk when using a particular method or management technique is the desire and expectation that it will be transferable for use in similar businesses in other countries. Service quality is reliant on what the customer feels and often cannot be measured easily. This can be compounded in a developing nation scenario, by the fact that methods are usually developed, implemented, interpreted and validated through a western ‘lens’. Armstrong and Pont et al (2011, page 6 -7) describe these issues succinctly when they state… ‘a survey of the leading academic journals suggest that well over 90% of the articles published are concerned with establishing basic causality behind certain phenomena. Very few studies investigate whether a certain method used by management is effective or not …. as practitioners we are more interested in what works than the intricacies of causality’. This research specifically explored the use of VOC tools in the Bougainville Village Court (VC) to identify service elements customers considered important to the functioning of the VC in their village communities. Tools that were used included quantitative measurement tools - a combined Garvin–SERVQUAL tool, the RATER model, and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) principles, and the more qualitative New Zealand Business Excellence Criteria (NZBEC). The research demonstrated that the quantitative VOC methods used did not fully fit, or account for some service elements important to the customer in this particular context, where societal trust and continuous contact are important service elements. The methods used were thus, unable to completely capture the full humanistic elements and contributing causal factors. In this research study cultural context in the form of history, environment, tradition, community relationships and structures, played a vital role in determining what the customer considered were important service elements. It was found that these elements were more easily captured through use of the more qualitative NZBEC as it enabled collection of more diverse perspectives through its open question structure. Generic VOC ‘western developed’ quantitative tools did gather VOC information. However, they were only effective after adaptation to each VC location and after cultural input. Cultural analysis from indigenous people to interpret the data is…

▼ The goal of Universal Basic Education (UBE), as agreed to in the formulation of the Education For All Goals in 1990 and later the development of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by the United Nations (UN) in 2000, is achieving universal primary and secondary education by 2015. However, one of the impediments to the successful attainment of the UBE in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is the issue of violence against girls and women (VAG/W) in schools. Addressing violence and gender issues has a significant impact on the ultimate progress and outcome on the goal of UBE because, in practice, PNG is not free from violence and its related issues of gender inequality. Therefore, this study sought to understand, ‘How School Leaders Address Violence Against Girls/Women in Schools and its Significance for the Implementation of Universal Basic Education Policy in PNG’. Its prime focus was to assess the effectiveness of school leadership in handling VAG/W in PNG schools. Some schools and their leaders in PNG have been recognised as working effectively in tackling VAG/W in schools. A secondary intention of this study was to investigate those effective practices and recommend them to other schools and for further improvements. Using interviews with adult school leaders (4) and surveys with student leaders and students (101) the research was carried out in two contextually very different schools in PNG, located in the NCD and Central provinces. Descriptive statistics, thematic analysis and content analysis was used to analyse the data. The study concluded that school leaders at the two schools were attending to issues of VAG/W in their schools and, to some extent, were effective within their specific context. Yet there were still many challenges identified that need on-going attention for achieving universal primary and secondary education and addressing VAG/W. As a result of the study I have proposed several recommendations for the schools, for education in PNG more generally and for those engaging in similar research associated with VAG/W in PNG. Advisors/Committee Members: Hunter, Lisa (advisor).
