Evaluation of construction, marketing and management in housing delivery by a private developer: evidence from Papua New Guinea

Providing quality, affordable and adequate housing in urban areas has been a long-standing challenge for the governments of most developing countries. This paper reports on a study of the activities of a private developer in the construction, management and marketing of houses in the vicinity of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. It also describes the challenges faced by the developer, the coping strategy employed and a potential strategy that can be used to promote private sector participation in housing delivery. The data were obtained from face-to-face in-depth interviews that involved the directors of Edai Town Development Limited (ETDL) and were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The results revealed that ETDL has an effective development framework and that it had built 144 houses. The sales price of the houses ranges from 294,800 PNG Kina (89,333 US$) to 803,000 PNG Kina (243,333 US$). However, low-income households might find it difficult to afford the houses. The results also revealed that ETDL had established different types of basic infrastructures and had introduced an infrastructure maintenance strategy. Some of the challenges faced by ETDL include the high cost of building materials, shortages of land with proper titles and skilled labour and lack of trunk infrastructure. The coping strategy used by ETDL included providing and managing the infrastructure in its housing estate, training workers on the job and the constructing house types that are in high demand. To promote private sector participation in the delivery of housing, the government should provide trunk infrastructures where they are lacking. The government should encourage small and medium enterprises to produce materials for constructing houses by providing them with opportunities to access loan facilities and training. More vocational schools should be established for training people in professions such as bricklaying and carpentry. The findings can assist urban development managers and policy-makers in developing a strategy for increasing the supply of private sector housing.

“Tropical Allsorts”: The Transnational Flavor of British Development Policies in Africa

This article explores how postwar British development in Africa was generated, transferred, and applied in the context of a series of wider networks. It examines the methods, pathways, and limits of this transnational approach to development. In the immediate postwar period, Britain had an entrenched institutional and historic knowledge of colonial governance, as well as many highly skilled practitioners with specialist knowledge of individual colonial territories. However, Britain had to enact its colonial policy within a wider context of European reconstruction and increasing American international power, as well as a growing impetus from the colonies themselves for self-government and independence. This article explores how Britain enacted colonial development policies within this series of overlapping networks, and argues that this context often—but not always—created an effective framework for development, even though British interests were often at odds with those of the other metropolitan powers. The Organisation for European Economic Cooperation and the Anglo-American “special relationship” are highlighted as specific forums within which British colonial development policy could be enacted, performed, and challenged. The article also considers some of the ongoing legacies of this networked approach to colonial development at the end of the Second World War, especially the ways in which the voices of donor countries have been prioritized over those of aid recipients.
