Information Dissemination

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) in Papua New Guinea plays a vital role in ensuring that government information is shared clearly, accurately, and efficiently with the people. One of its core responsibilities is information dissemination, which means providing the public with reliable updates about government programs, services, policies, and national development initiatives.

Through effective communication, DICT supports transparency and accountability in governance. It ensures that citizens are informed about decisions made by the government and how these decisions affect their daily lives. This helps people make better choices and participate actively in the country’s development.

To reach a wide audience, DICT uses various tools and platforms. These include government websites, social media, radio, television, newspapers, and public awareness campaigns. In rural and remote areas, where internet access may be limited, DICT also explores alternative communication methods to ensure that no one is left behind.

In addition to delivering news and updates, DICT also educates the public on how to access digital government services. This supports the government’s move towards a digital economy, where more services are available online, making it easier and faster for people to get the help they need.

By making government information accessible and easy to understand, DICT helps build trust between the government and the people. It also empowers citizens with knowledge, encourages participation in public programs, and contributes to national unity.

The Department of ICT is the government’s main channel for communicating with the people of Papua New Guinea. Its work in information dissemination is essential for good governance, citizen engagement, and building an informed society. Through this important role, DICT supports the overall growth and progress of the nation.
