Overview
 
 
Currently, within the Public Service system, there is no
formal structure of Institutional Housing Governance
Framework (IHGF) in place to ensure good governance
practices apply in the implementation and management of
institutional housing policy directives.
 In the existing structure, provision and administration of
Institutional Housing has been devolved to various
Government departments and agencies.
 This arrangement creates a vacuum and encourages
government agencies to work in silos with no proper
management systems.
 
 
Overview…………………Continue
 
Consequently, these state assets:
 have deteriorated to the extent that many institutional houses
are unfit for human habitation due to lack of maintenance;
 have retrenched officers prolonging their stay and residing
unlawfully;
 have extended family members sharing the accommodation;
 are inadequate to cater for increase demand as the available
supply of housing stock are not there; and
 is allocated without any real strategic evaluation of need being
conducted.
 
Purpose
 
 
Institutional Housing Governance Framework
simply defines the systems and processes that prudently
manage, control and direct the use of institutional
housing among various government departments and
agencies for the common goal of efficiently and
effectively delivering government services within the
national and subnational levels.
There is a need to establish an Institutional Housing
Governance Framework (IHGF) that will provide guidelines
in the systems and processes on management and
administration of institutional houses.
 
Scope
 
 
IHGF applies to:
all institutional houses owned by the State through its
departments and agencies;
any institutional housing projects intended to roll out new
houses to the public service; and
any state sponsored/ financed housing projects.
 
Objectives
 
To ensure that there is housing for all public servants serving the
country in various levels of government system;
To ensure that there is fair distribution of housing to all public
servants;
To ensure that there is proper management of housing stock and
new developments;
Establishment of a central database system that will store all the
relevant institutional housing information.
To ensure that demand and supply do not out strip each other
and there must be equilibrium levels maintained at all times.
 
Principles
 
Fairness
Accountability
Transparency
Integrity
Stewardship
Efficiency
Leadership
 
Organisational planning
 
 
There is no central agency that is responsible for making
such assessments. Consequently, decentralisation of
institutional housing allocations has resulted in skewed
priorities with high tendency of misallocation or wastage of
public funds.
Under the IHGF, there needs to be a much greater focus of
the provision of institutional housing, consistent with
operational need, and some oversight to ensure funding
allocated for institutional housing is used as originally
planned.
 
Organisational planning
 
 
Key drivers
Overall management of IHGF by DPM.
Coordination of institutional housing budgets for various
departments and agencies by DPM and continued
management by State agencies.
Continued management by State departments and
agencies with DPM providing the advisory role during the
budgetary preparations.
 
Roles and Responsibilities
 
 
DPM needs to take the lead role in the development of a
revised institutional housing management strategy. It
needs to liaise with line agencies regarding their views on
options for a revised institutional housing management
strategy and to prepare the necessary NEC submission for
changes. In this role, DPM has to be staffed by people
with requisite estate and property management, valuation
building and architectural experience.
 A clearly defined matrix on the roles and responsibilities
of all staff in DPM and other departments and agencies is
needed.
 
Systems
 
 
DPM needs to be involved in:
determining priority areas for new infrastructure
developments;
establishing an asset register and central database to
capture all institutional houses and land; and
focusing on a wholesale maintenance priority for
institutional houses that have deteriorated.
 
Systems
 
Developments of new institutional housing infrastructure
Once the projects are scoped, DPM needs to have a role in determining
how the project will be implemented.
For small-scale maintenance and infrastructure, development funding
may be provided directly to line agencies to manage or to end users to
implement.
For large-scale projects, DPM may develop tenders and invite responses
through the Central Supply and Tenders Board, or Provincial Tenders
Board as appropriate.
Alternatively, the process might be managed by the Provincial
Governments.
Another option is to engage a reputable project management
organisation, for instance, the PNG Incentive Fund which will be
responsible for project management and delivery of large-scale projects.
 
Summary
 
 
Public Service Housing Policy and related policies are culmination of
past policy initiatives aimed to provide housing in the public service
over the last 45 +  years.
Housing policy reforms undertaken through an ad hoc and piecemeal
approach has failed resulting in a dismal housing sector.
Critical need for the development of a PSHP & DPSHP with a holistic
approach and embedded in an IHGF.
This stakeholder workshop and the up coming regional consultations
provide an opportunity for relevant stakeholders to contribute to the
development of these critical policies.

Currently, there is a lack of formal structure in the Institutional Housing Governance Framework (IHGF) within the public service system, leading to inefficiencies in managing institutional housing policies. This absence has resulted in deteriorating state assets, unmet housing demands, and ineffective allocation strategies. Establishing an IHGF is crucial to prudently manage institutional housing among government departments and agencies to enhance service delivery at national and subnational levels.
