It is important that the government manages the use of loans wisely so that the deficit and debt levels do not go out of control, and ensure government revenue is increased to address the growing debt burden in Papua New Guinea. Read more in: https://t.co/LmCFxI7w8O

@pngnri Livelihoods of majority of people in PNG are strongly linked to agriculture. More investment is needed in agriculture and manufacturing sectors to move the country forward. The investment should focus on the provision of enabling environment for the private sector to operate.

@pngnri PNG must be cautious in re-opening schools. All facilities required for social distancing and good hygiene must be put in place and tested before schools are re-opened. Teachers must be prepared physically and mentally to adapt to the changes that COVID-19 pandemic triggered.

[Gerard Dogimab @GDogimab]

Good question indeed.

[Pacific Geopolitics @PacGeopolitics]

In my view, this question by @pngnri begs to know the empirical evidence that #COVID19 is not really a concern in our community and society. Negative results of confirmed cases and contact tracing should not be an indicator of virus under control mode. #PNG

NRI Research Fellow @LogeaNao writes about the potential impact of COVID-19 on PNG's International Trade.

[PNG National Research Institute (PNGNRI) @pngnri]

A vital strategy to prevent #COVID19 is to promote safe #water, #sanitation, and hygienic (WaSH) conditions. @pngnri's @FairioMary will be on @FM100PNG at 10am to talk about the potential impact of COVID19 on the #WaSH sector and provide strategies to address the issues. Tune in

Livelihoods of majority of people in PNG are strongly linked to informal activities. Thus, planners and policy-makers must consider informal sector in planning state of emergency in the country. see paper by Dr Kopel at PNG NRI website (https://t.co/NxwHA1o9vE) on 04-05-2020.

[Eugene Ezebilo @EugeneEzebilo]

@pngnri @FairioMary @FM100PNG Issues associated with access to potable water and sanitation must be addressed to improve welfare of PNG residents. Provision of infrastructure for water and sanitation should be seen as investment that can generate government revenue directly or indirectly in the long-term.

[Eugene Ezebilo @EugeneEzebilo]

@Fact This is really an interesting finding.
