Managing The Funding
The group has been demanding the Australian and PNG government to be better at the managing and tracking of the Kokoda Initiative. They have been urging the governments to show more initiative in monitoring how the funds were being used.
Urging Action
During a press release, the committee said, “Since the establishment of the Kokoda Initiative Program, there has been nil general public Kokoda Track Community forum workshops from the CEPA (PNG Conservation and Environment Protection Authority).” The statement then continued to read, “There is no detailed reporting in terms of funding expenditure which provides some area of concern in terms of their expenditures that require detailed explanation for general public comprehension at present.”
