Law on Provincial Governments and Local-level Governments (OLGPLLG).
Its
main roles are to provide the Government with advice regarding:

|
OLGPLLG grants
and other transfers from the National Government to Provincial
and Local-Level Governments |
|
|
the
level of funding that is available to Provincial and Local-Level
Governments |
|
|
how equitably total
funding is split between the various Provinces and Local-Level
Governments |
|
|
economic, planning
and financial management matters that impact on the system of
financial transfers between the levels of government |

This website
is intended to provide information about

in PNG and other fiscal matters regarding the 19 Provincial and 312
Local-Level Governments.

Review
of Intergovernmental Financing Arrangements
At
present, the NEFC is heavily engaged on the Review of Intergovernmental
Financing
Arrangements (RIGFA). During its 2002 Budget deliberations, National
Executive Council asked NEFC to undertake a critical review of
the whole system of financial grants and transfers made by the National
Government to the Provincial and Local-Level Governments. These
financial transfers fund over 90% of Provincial and Local-Level Government
expenditures. The focus of the review is on funding systems
that support effective and efficient service
delivery.
