"ANCHORING OUR RESOURCES TO CREATE A PROSPEROUS FUTURE FOR ALL"

The Critical Capital Infrastructure Project (CCIP) is a comprehensive infrastructure development program that aims to improve the transportation, energy, water, and communication systems in the project area. The project includes the construction and upgrade of roads and bridges, airstrips and airports, jetties and seaports, power generation and reticulation, water and sewage systems, and telecommunication networks. Additionally, it involves the development of an industrial township.

To promote the GoPNG Public Private Partnership (PPP) Policy, the CCIP program seeks partnerships with private sector entities in the development of infrastructure projects. The development of each infrastructure project will be structured based on its economics. Most of them will be developed under the Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model, while others will be developed under the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction plus Finance (EPC+F) model. State guarantees may also be procured on a case-by-case basis where necessary for each project.

The Ihu Special Economic Zone (ISEZ) project development office is responsible for all aspects of the ISEZ development. This includes physical planning, site selection, feasibility studies, land mobilization, and Environmental Impact Assessments (EIS). The office will work in partnership with the Kikori District, Gulf Provincial Government, relevant government departments, and other development partners to ensure the successful implementation of the CCIP program and the ISEZ project.
