PEAK’s
Constitution is currently under review, but this does not change
the primary objectives of the Association which are:
- To provide an independent review of
the sustainability process, including the scope of recommendations
and proposals arising from the Porgera Mine Closure and Sustainability
Plan;
- To monitor implementation and compliance
with any formalized or understood requirements arising from
the above, in terms of the social, economic and environmental
performance of PJV and other parties;
- To review Mine closure or sustainable
development issues raised by external stakeholders for consideration
by PJV and other parties;
- To identify key issues
in each of the areas of social, economic and environmental
programs and impact. Where
appropriate commission studies using external experts and institutions;
- To provide advisory
services to all major stakeholders – in
particular to communities, PJV, and the Government. Advice
will be drawn from the expertise of the PEAK membership, from
material held in the knowledge bank, as well as from commissioned
studies;
- To provide inputs into mine closure
planning;
- To compile a knowledge bank and serve
as a clearing-house for information on topics relevant to sustainable
development and environmental management in the target region
as a service to a wide range of stakeholders and clients, locally,
nationally and internationally. This could include maintenance
of a website, a library of relevant documents, a register of
expertise and aggregation of other relevant information (including
case studies of good practice from elsewhere in PNG and internationally);
- To act as a conduit for communication
of relevant information: i) to the target communities in Porgera,
and from these communities to other stakeholders; and ii) to
external national and international constituencies, and
- Where appropriate, assist in facilitating
effective partnerships, particularly in regard to assisting
with linkages and networks between potential partners, brokering
capacity building or support to community-level organizations
engaged in partnerships, independent monitoring of partner
contributions, and assessment of impact
A special meeting of the
Committee will be held in 2007 to discuss and ratify our new constitution.
