1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW Transparency International PNG Inc. (TIPNG) envisions a country where government, politics, business
and individual citizens live and operate within the rule of law, are subject to good governance and are
free from corruption. Through our projects and programs, we work to inform, educate and empower all
Papua New Guineans, regardless of who they are or where they are from, to make an active choice
against corruption. The Mike Manning Youth Democracy Camp (MMYDC) is a project that falls under
TIPNG’s Strategic Plan, aimed at equipping youth with basic advocacy and democracy.
During the Mike Manning Youth Democracy Camp, youth, are trained in the principles of democracy and
good governance, taught about citizens’ rights and responsibilities and empowered and encouraged to
increase public awareness of corruption. Once youth are equipped with this knowledge they can then
promote good governance in their communities as leaders, encourage others to become active citizens
and leaders and know processes they can go through to make their voices heard.
The Mike Manning Youth Democracy Camp would not have been possible without the generous contributions and support Transparency International PNG Inc. receives from Donors. One camp costs over K200,000.00 to run. Before proceeding further with this report we wish to express our gratitude to the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade of Australia (DFAT) through the Strongim Pipol, Strongim Nesen (SPSN) Programme, The Department of Prime Minister & National Executive Council (PM & NEC), Exxon Mobil PNG, United Nations Development Fund (UNDP) and Pacific MMI for funding this year’s camp. This programme would not have been possible without these generous contributions.
1.1 Strategic Goal
The MMYDC activity falls under TIPNG’s strategic goal of Values where the strategic objective is to
contribute to instil a higher level of integrity as stated in the PNG constitution.
1.2 Project Objectives
The objectives of the camps are that the targeted youth will be able to:
Participate more actively to advocate for a less corrupt society
Explain and teach others about how governments should work
Demonstrate leadership & effective self-management skills

1.3 Requirements to implement the camp
The actual camp programme takes place in July, however, setting up the logistics and the camp participation selection process takes many months. To give a comprehensive picture of the project activities, this report has itemized each major activity with a short summary of what was achieved.
Sponsorship proposals and funding commitments
The four major donors for this year’s camp were the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade Australia (DFAT), the Department of Prime Minister & National Executive Council (PM & NEC), Exxon Mobil PNG and the United Nations Development Fund (UNDP). Pacific MMI supported the camp through covering the insurance for all participants travelling to the camp. Full expenditure report1 for the 2014 MMYDC is attached with this report.
Participant recruitment Participant recruitment began in the first week of April 2014 and ran until the second week of June 2014. During this time 60 schools were contacted and asked to submit nominations for the camp. By the time the nomination deadline was reached we had received a total of 70 nominations from 32 schools, 2 youth organizations, 2 community groups and 1 special education centre . Of these, 61 students made the final selection list. It is important to note that it was difficult to contact all the Secondary and High Schools throughout PNG as most have no contact details listed in the Telephone Directory or Phone Lines are out of order.
Final participant selection While making the final selections, we consider if the school has attended the camp before and also ensure that we choose a fair number of schools from every province. We also select students according to the quality of their essay. A total of 61 students, who met the criteria, were selected from 27 schools, 1 community group, 2 youth organizations and 1 special education centre. 3 students from Port Moresby pulled out on the day of travel to Lae and 1 student asked to return to her home province on the first day of the camp. We contacted one student on the reserve list to attend the camp bringing our final total to 58 participants.
Logistics and travel arrangements
The camp venue for this year’s camp was the Okari Conference Centre in Lae, Morobe Province. All camp participants and staff arrived in Lae by Monday 30th June 2014 and were all at the Okari Conference Centre, ready for day one of the camp (Tuesday 1st July 2014) All tickets for participants and speakers were arranged 2 weeks before the camp and sent to them.
Camp programme and camp held
This year’s camp was held from Tuesday 1st July – Thursday 10th Jul 2014. The actual camp programme2 content for this year did not differ much to last year’s programme. Refer to program in Appendix 3
Guest speakers A total of 26 guest speakers were invited to speak at the camp to share

their experiences and insights. All the speakers attended the camp. Some of these included Chief Ombudsman Rigo Lua, Hon. Garry Juffa (Governor for Oro), Hon. Sam Basil (Member for Bulolo Open), Mr Steven Hoggs (Counsellor – Governance Program DFAT) and past camp participants: Kigason (2012), Raylance Mesa (2013) and Christopher Lam (2013). Mrs Jennifer Baing-Waiko also visited the camp participants. Brian Alois, TIPNG Director was also present for most of the duration of the camp, helping out the TIPNG staff and assisting the participants during group activities. The camp coordinating team are thankful to Mr Alois for his support, his time and his commitment to this year’s camp. Mr Joseph Sukwianomb from the Department of the Prime Minister & National Executive Council was also present at the last two days of the camp in Lae. He also assisted participants during group work exercises and answered any questions or queries they had about how government works.
Simulation At the beginning of the camp, participants are put into groups and informed that they are in the Republic of Okari, an independent country in crisis. The country’s leaders were killed in a plane crash and it is explained to participants that there will be an interim camp government which needs to make laws and govern the country. The program is mainly based around simulations and hands on activities on subjects such as law making, rule of man and rule of law, human rights, constitution drafting and running credible elections. Information about national and parliament processes are then given to assist participants establish their own government for the Republic of Okari’s simulated set of crises. The aim of this is to demonstrate to participants their rights and roles as citizens and leaders. The Simulation and presentations from guest speakers run simultaneously over the 10 days
Management of the Camp
This year, the camp had a new coordinator, Arianne Kassman. Mr Simon Jenkins, camp consultant was also present at this year’s camp, together with camp assistant, Caroline Webb. Additional staff included Hezron Warike for the first week of the camp and Peter ToAlbert for the second week of the camp. This was done to help with supervision of camp participants over the 10 days. Mr Jenkins also brought his daughter from New Zealand to volunteer as an assistant for the full duration of the camp. The additional staff at the camp helped to ensure smooth running of the camp. We will continue to have additional staff at the camp to assist.

2.0 RESULTS The running of these camps is a long term strategy. Hopefully in a few years we will be able to see some measurable long term results as a consequence of the civic actions and careers chosen by some of the very first students who attended the camp in 2008. TIPNG focuses on the short and mid-term results of the camp as a means of evaluation. As a short term result, students complete an evaluation form at the end of the camp. This form asks them to judge the ease of understanding of topics/sessions and the percentage of how useful they found the camp programme. Mid-term results talks about monitoring the progress of camp participants post camp. As a means of monitoring, TIPNG conducts a post camp telephone survey every three months to monitor student’s progres
2.1 Short term results
Note that thirty seven (37) topics were listed on the Evaluation Form. Three presentations were not
included on the form and they were: The presentation on Leadership, the presentation on the Role of the
Department of the Prime Minister and National Executive Council by Mr Joseph Sukwianomb (Dept
PM/NEC) and the presentation on Local Level Governments by Mr Bennie Atigini (Care International). The
presentation on Forest Governance & Illegal Logging was only evaluated by 34 participants due to an
error on the form.
2.1.1 Short term results – Post Camp Evaluation: Participants level of Understanding
of Topics/Sessions
As mentioned above students complete an evaluation form. The data collected from the forms allows us
to produce the graph below.

Short term results – Post Camp Evaluation: Participants level of Understanding of
Topics/Sessions
Out of the 37 topics on the Evaluation Form and form the graphs above:
More than 50% of the participants understood most of the program content
More than 8% of the participants found 7 of the topics difficult to understand
Approximately 17% of the participants found the topics Constitutions and Types of Government
very difficult to understand
The results show that most of the content was new to the participants. As participants come from both
rural and urban centres, it is slightly difficult for participants from rural centres to comprehend the
information being given. However, as the camp progresses, it is evident that participants from rural
settings have more questions to ask and also make an effort to take back as much information as they can
back to their communities to share with others.

Short term results – Post Camp Evaluation: How useful participants
found content Out of the 37 topics on the Evaluation Form and form the graphs above:
Generally, most participants found the content useful
More than 68% of the participants found 17 topics very useful
76% of the participants found the presentations on Constitutions and Kup Women for Peace
useful
When we look at the main presentations that assist the participants through the simulation exercise, we
find that:
21% of the participants found the presentation on Constitutions difficult to understand but 76%
indicated the presentation was useful
19% of the participants found the presentation on Types of Government very difficult to
understand, more than 50% of the participants found the content to be very useful
The presentations or sessions we will need to improve on are Making & debating Laws Practice,
Open Parliament Project, Political Parties, United Nations System, Petroleum Resources and
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
This feedback will be given to the people who facilitated or gave presentations for these topics so that
they can improve for next year. We are also willing to sit with the speakers and go over the presentations
over the next few months.
2.1.3 General Comments on Workshop Content
The Evaluation form also had a section on the workshop content.
Major things learned
Most participants wrote that the most important thing they learned was that the main role of an MP is to
make laws. Participants learned a lot about Government and Government systems, why we have a
constitution and how to draft a constitution. Participants also felt that the session on Getting Organized
and Time Management was a valuable one. There were also a few comments from participants about
how their view on the importance of the role of Civil Society increased after the camp.
What could be improved
Participants felt that presentations should be short, sharp and straight to the point
Participants also felt that the presentation on corruption should have more time for discussion
between participants
Participants also suggested more outdoor sessions and more time allocated for group work
Participants suggested the inclusion of a speaker from the LLG Council or Provincial
Administration to also explain the roles of their offices
It is important to note that we do not give out Certificates at the camp. Attending the camp is only a small
part of the program. It is what the participants do after they leave the camp that make this program
successful.
2.1.4 Results from Drama Workshop
The drama workshop is one session thoroughly enjoyed by the participants. The workshop takes up a full
day of the camp program and helps to build the confidence of the students, especially those that appear
to be shy at first.
2.1.5 Participation of disabled students at the camps
Since 2013, a total of 3 disabled students have attended the camp. This year was no exception, with one
student from the Mt Zion Blind Centre travelling by road from Goroka to Lae to participate in the camp.
Mr Manias Kinonta gave a closing speech at the camp. He delivered this speech in pidgin:
“I want to thank Simon, Arianne and Carol who organized this workshop and made it possible. We
were here to learn about what we can do to create change in our country. Most of the work was
done by you all and you all made this workshop possible in Lae. Thank you. I would also like to
extend my thank you to all the people who helped me while I was here. Thank you for the respect
and acknowledging my presence here, especially for disabled people and for those that are blind –
just like me, in and around PNG and making sure we are also involved in contributing to change in
PNG.
It is not only abled people that can do something to change our country – it is in the hands of all of
us. I appeal to all the participants who have come here to attend this workshop, when you go
back, it won’t be easy, and secondly, it is hard to help those who are living with disabilities or

special conditions, but try your best and do it with your heart, and help those who are in need so
that they can learn about what their rights are here in our country Papua New Guinea.
Thank you.”
TIPNG will continue to recruit youth with special needs for future camps. We believe that their
contribution to the building of this nation is important and necessary to bring this country forward.
2.1.6 Media Coverage of this year’s camp
This year, the camp also received media coverage. The following articles were published during and after
the camp.

2.2 Mid Term results
At the camp, the students are all asked to write down their Commitment. This is a half to one page
document that the participants write stating the things they will do when they return back to their
schools and communities after the camp.
After students pass out of the camp, we monitor students by keeping track of their progress by
conducting a telephone survey every 3 months. At the time of writing this report, 3 months had not
passed yet.
Let us hear some of their stories.
2.2.1 PAST CAMP PARTICIPANTS This section of the report talks about the activities of students whom we have been able to contact from
previous camps. TIPNG believes the actions of previous camp participants, however little, have brought
positive change to the local community.
2013 Camp participants
Stanley Phillipae
Upon returning to Madang, Stanley secured a partnership with NBC Radio Madang which
he has been using to broadcast educational information about what youth can do to fight
against corruption in the hope that it would bring about changes in families and
communities which cannot be reached in person. Stanley has also established a YACA
group at Tusbab Secondary School. The YACA group has visited the hospital and also visits
schools to raise awareness about the damaging effects of corruption. Together with Lynus
Ipara (2014 MMYDC), they have formed another partnership with World Vision. Together with World
Vision, they will be hosting a YACA forum on Human Rights.
Raylance Mesa
After the camp, Raylance returned to Lae and started a YACA group at Lae Secondary School with Christopher Lam. After her year 12 exams, Raylance went home to Finschhafen and carried out community awareness about the things she had learned at the camp. She then returned to Lae and collected some books to bring back to Finschhafen to start up a Library at the Community School. In addition to this, she helps her community come to terms with the harsh realities of climate change and tries to help her people combat the rising sea level. Raylance also continued her awareness activities in Rabaul.
She organized a small group and performed a drama for the local communities. She works closely with her LLG President on community issues. She is currently studying Architecture at the University of Technology in Lae and works part-time to gain as much knowledge and experience as she can to help build a school in her village.

Jonty Rangit
When Jonty returned to Kimbe, he met with interested students and youth in Kimbe town and planned a beautification activity for the Kimbe Police Barracks. Jonty is now in the process of formally establishing a YACA Group in Kimbe for both students and out of school youth. Jonty’s actions caught the attention of TIPNG’s network partner in Kimbe, Diane Mirio, whose daughter is also a former MMYDC camp participant. Through Jonty, TIPNG was able to travel to Kimbe and train 70 youth leaders from Secondary and Primary Schools in Hoskins and Kimbe at a Mobilizing Youth Against Corruption
Workshop. Christopher Lam
Following the 2013 MMYDC Camp, Christopher returned to Lae and together with Raylance Mesa, started a YACA group at Lae Secondary School. Together with a few friends, they visited schools in Lae, raising awareness about corruption and its effect on the community. This led to a team from TIPNG facilitating the first ‘Mobilizing Youth Against Corruption’ Workshop in Lae. The workshop saw the formation of the Lae Vision and work plan for 2014. Representatives from the YACA schools in Lae meet regularly and
continue to inspire others. Chris also helped out during the 2014 Sir Anthony Siaguru Walk Against Corruption and signed up as a volunteer Photographer.
Previous Camp participants
Kaleichris Maha
Kaleichris was selected from Kila Kila Secondary School to attend the 2012 camp. Before
Kaleichris attended the camp in September, he was already the President of the Kila Kila
Secondary YACA group. Under Kaleichris’ leadership, the YACA group organised school
visits to Bavaroko and Coronation Primary Schools. At these school visits, the Kila Kila
Secondary YACA group would perform an anti-corruption drama followed by a short talk
about the effects of corruption. After the performance is done, the school is presented
with anti-corruption materials (posters, brochures etc). After completing grade 12, Kaleichris continues
to act as a mentor to the Kila Kila Secondary YACA group who now combine with the Gordons Secondary
School YACA group to do school visits. So far this year, they have carried out 2 visits to Bavaroko and
Coronation Primary Schools. Along with school visits, Kaleichris and the Kila Kila YACA group also raised
money to buy presents for patients in the children’s ward.
Lisa-Thea Kasnari
Lisa-Thea was selected from Port Moresby Grammar school in the National Capital District
Province. Due to her family’s financial constraints, Lisa was unable to a complete her final
term at Port Moresby Grammar school and left school to find employment. Earlier this

Sustaining the movement:
The Voice Inc.
The Voice Inc.(TVI) is a dynamic
youth development organisation
based in PNG that runs leadership
programs with students in schools
and universities. The program aims
to build a sense of purpose in
students’ lives, increase their
confidence and create avenues for
them to contribute to their
communities through projects.
Many of the students who come out
of the camp return to their home
provinces and start Youth Against
Corruption Associations in their
schools. When they reach
University, they join The Voice.
The Voice Inc. reports that some of
the best students they receive are
the former MMYDC participants.
At present, YACA has a very
strong partnership with The Voice
Inc. often collaborating on projects,
workshops and forums.
funds earmarked for the building of new classrooms. These funds were never received by the school
because they were being diverted and held back by corrupt officials in the Department of National
Planning and Monitoring. The school finally received some of the funds last year and has since
constructed new classrooms. The school currently does not have a library. In May and June this year, Lisa
wrote a proposal to the Digicel Foundation asking them to build a library for the school. Digicel
Foundation have given positive indications to Lisa’s request but need more information from the school,
such as copies of board meeting minutes, which Lisa is currently collecting. TIPNG will continue to
monitor Lisa’s progress with this initiative and provide support to her where possible. Lisa also
participated as an observer during the 2012 national elections.
Shane Saroya
After leaving the Youth Democracy Camp, Shane
Saroya started a YACA group at his school, Don
Bosco (Vanimo), before moving on to tertiary
studies at the University of Papua New Guinea.
The group has 19 registered members and has
been actively carrying out awareness activities within the school
and around Vanimo Town. Shane is currently studying Business
Management at the University of Papua New Guinea and is an
active member of The Voice Inc having participated in their
Dream Programme. Together with former MMYDC participant
Kaleichris Maha, they visited Bavaroko Primary School early this
month to raise awareness about corruption in the school.
Mariepaul Yapenare
Mariepaul Yapenare was selected from Kwikila
Secondary School in the Central Province. After
completing grade 12, Mariepaul was selected to
attend the University of Papua New Guinea to
study Business Management. At the University,
Mariepaul was then selected to attend The
voice Inc.’s Dream Programme. Last year, Mariepaul organised a
group of youth to visit the Psychiatric Hospital where they cleaned parts of the hospital, and cooked food
to share lunch with some of the psychiatric patients and presented stationery items. The psychiatric ward
does not get visited by a lot of groups because people naturally fear it. Mariepaul organised this activity
to show that care and equal treatment must be provided to all those who are affected by illness even
those who have psychiatric (mental) problems. Mariepaul continues to involve herself with The Voice Inc
and help other young people find their leadership potential to contribute meaningfully to their
communities.

Tamarah Munjin
Tamarah Munjin was selected from Lae Christian Academy in Lae, Morobe Province. In April
this year, Tamarah Munijin contacted us to volunteer to organise the Sir Anthony Siaguru
Walk Against Corruption in Lae, Morobe Province. Tamarah and her teacher, Theresa
Mirinu along with other volunteers formed a committee to organise the walk. Tamarah says
she did this because she wanted to provide an opportunity for residents in Lae to be able to
peacefully demonstrate their opposition to corruption and also raise money for TIPNG to continue to do
its work. The Lae walk was very successful, with more than 200 people participating and raising more than
K13,000 for TIPNG. Tamarah and her teachers are now working on formally establishing a Youth Against
Corruption Association Group for Lae Christian Academy.
Banai David
Banai David was selected from Gerehu Secondary School in Port Moresby. Banai was the
school captain of Gerehu Secondary which was having major problems. Banai and the
School Representative Council organised a petition with these four main points:
Discipline teachers who were not punctual to class and remove those who were not attending classes at all.
Change of Board of Governors
Change of the School Administration – Principal and the two deputies
Release of financial reports This petition was received by the Secretary of the Department of Education and soon after the Principle of Gerehu Secondary was removed and replaced. Since that time onwards, Gerehu Secondary has seen improvements in teacher’s attendance and students’ attendance in classes. Although this action took place before Banai attended the camp in 2012, Banai says the knowledge he gained from the camp has empowered him to continue to do more. Banai currently attends the University of Papua New Guinea and is studying Public Policy Management. Banai is also an active member of The Voice Inc. where in his capacity as a Clean Generation ambassador, visits schools to speak to students about the clean generation programme and what it aims to achieve.

The DWU YACA group held an open forum in March that year attended by more than 50 people from within and outside of the university. Under Anna’s leadership, the DWU YACA group assisted TIPNG by taking the lead with the organisation of the Madang Walk Against
Corruption. Anna was assisted by Yoland Efi and Amy Kuli who are both executives of the DWU YACA group, who are also participants of the 2011 MMYDC.
Hezron Warike
Hezron Warike attended the camp in 2010 when he was attending Port Moresby Grammar School. After completing grade 12 at POM Grammar, Hezron took up IT studies at the International Training Institute in Port Moresby. During his studies, Hezron heard that TIPNG was looking for interested citizens willing to participate in the Domestic Elections Observation Programme. Hezron signed up as an observer and observed the elections in (insert polling station). When the elections were over, Hezron volunteered to be a data entry officer, inputting all the data collected from over 200 observers
nationwide. After the completion of that project, Hezron then joined the Advocacy & Legal Advice Centre (ALAC) team as a part-time data entry clerk registering complaints into the ALAC database. Recently Hezron was part of a 4-man team that observed the Angoram by-elections held in July. Hezron is now employed full-time with TIPNG as the ALAC Project Assistant. Renee Siaguru

(ALAC) in TIPNG. Renee also takes time out during her Semester Breaks to return home to Lae and Rabaul with her colleagues from the University to visit schools and motivate other young people. Together with her friends, she plans to compile a booklet on quality citizenship. These are just some of the stories which we have collected from students we have been able to reach. TIPNG will continue to student tracking to capture student’s progress. The monitoring and evaluation plan for this program is work in progress. We aim to have another monitoring report out for the end of October (3rd quarter report).
3.0 CONCLUSION Overall the camp ran smoothly, with only a few issues regarding the venue. TIPNG is keen on engaging past camp participants in post camp activities. This is a significant part of the camp and we hope to engage as many of the past camp participants as possible.
