A Trusted Implementation Partner
ATprojects was established in 1998 and operates under the Papua New Guinea Association Incorporation Act. Based in Goroka and working nationwide, we are one of the few organisations in PNG with the capacity to design, manufacture, train, and implement development solutions at district and community level. Our strength lies in translating donor objectives into practical, on-the-ground results, while ensuring:
Why Appropriate Technology?
Appropriate technology is more than a technical solution — it is a development methodology. It starts with people and not the products. At ATprojects, we believe technology should fit people — not the other way around. Our work is grounded in appropriate technology: solutions that are affordable, culturally appropriate, environmentally responsible, and built using local skills and materials. By involving communities from design through to implementation, we help ensure projects are not only effective, but lasting.

Featured Donor Project
Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture (WGJV) – Community WaSH Program
Morobe Province | 2018 - 2022
Between 2018 and 2022, ATprojects was engaged by Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture through its Sustainability and Development Affairs Department to design, implement, and manage Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) infrastructure for 17 landowner project-area communities. The aim of this project is to improve access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services in landowner communities affected by mining development, strengthening public health and community resilience. This is one of our many successful projects because now, over 2,000 people gained reliable access to clean water and safe sanitation, expanded water supply with community tapstands and rainwater systems, construction of gender-responsive and culturally appropriate sanitation facilities, and enhanced hygiene practices through community hygiene education.
This project demonstrates ATprojects’ capacity to deliver large-scale, community-focused infrastructure programs in partnership with industry and local stakeholders.
