Water Supply Development Feasibility Study Report

Details

Mission and objectives

Morobe Development Foundation Inc. is a leading Community based Group base in Lae Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea who has the vision to help young people reach their full potential by utilizing their hidden talents in community development initiatives so they can realize their potentail and become a role model in the community. MDF was established to address a broader and more diverse range of objectives and work through the use of dance, music and drama, MDF’s primary aim is to ensure that women participate equally in decision making in any project undertaken, including projects related to Ending Violence against Women, and promoting Human Rights with a aim to support the Government and UN their Development Goals. MDF in collaboration with the United Nations Volunteering Program (UNVP) has also undertaken various scientific research studies related to the environment - forest cover loss, land use land cover change, the influence of various parameters on surface waters, and coastal shoreline turtle habitat loss. These projects included the participation of various experts and researchers from diverse fields across various countries across the globe - ranging from marine biology, biodiversity conservation, PNG community management, remote sensing, and land use policy among various others. MDF is managed by a management committee, which is made up of the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman, Secretary, the Treasurer, the Project Coordinator, Community Development Officer, and a male and female member of the foundation, and ensures that women participate equally in decision making. We at MDF assert that we have the required skill sets, knowledge, established international network, and the necessary foundational work to undertake projects successfully.

Context

MDF has implemented projects in the past where it has carried out field and literature survey on a project site located in Madang (specifically) Divine Word University in Papua New Guinea; and have submitted and produced a Water Supply Feasibility Study Report to help with its water supply ambition. To ensure that public, students and researchers are informed with the information from the report, MDF is looking to develop a Technical Paper with the feasibility study report as the basis. Similarly, the objective of this Technical Paper is to serve as an example and reference to students and researchers who are carrying out water supply feasibility studies, thus it is important that this information is published and available for referencing. In this regard, MDF is seeking to collaborate with Online Volunteers to support its mission by performing necessary tasks in developing the said Technical Paper.

Task description

MDF is looking for two Online Volunteers with expertise, experience and qualification in Mechanical and Civil Engineering to: a) convert an existing Water Supply Feasibility Study Report into a Technical Report (5 page) or a recommended format appropriate for publication where the information can be used by future engineers, students and researchers; and (b) where necessary the two Online Volunteers can seek further information online or through any platform to refine the technical report and submit it for publication. The technical report should be 5 pages only. The Online Volunteers will be included as authors depending on their contribution and will be awarded with a certificate upon completion of the assignment.
