Background

Since the inception of OLIPPAC in 2001, PNG has experienced socioeconomic and political stability and growth which are positive indicators of development.

The Integrity of Political Parties and Candidates Commission which is established under section 3 of the OLLIPAC Act comprises of eminent Papua New Guineans appointed by the National Executive Council (NEC). The Commission is headed by a Chairperson who is the custodian of the Central Fund. The Registry is administered by a Registrar.
