DDA Watch aims to promote transparency and good governance.

The rating score and ranking does NOT reflect a comprehensive evaluation of the performance and effectiveness of a DDA or the quality of the services in a particular District. The score and ranking is merely an indicator of how a DDA rates against a set list of transparency and good governance indicators. The rating score assesses the performance of each DDA against a number of fixed criteria as listed below and also incorporates a public satisfaction element key Indicators that shows transparency and good governance.

This fixed criteria are:  
Current five year development plan - 10 points
Current annual budget - 10 points
Acquittal report (previous year) - 10 points
DIRD Inspection report (max 2 years old) - 10 points
Audit report (max 3 years old) - 10 points
Functioning email address - 10 points
Postal address - 5 points
Contact phone number - 5 points

Wau waria scored 43 points and ranks second in the country. 43/100 score is even below the half score of 50 points and  when ranked second speaks a lot for itself.  It shows that the key public documents (fixed criteria to rank the DDAs) for all districts in PNG is inaccessible or not available. How do we account for DSIP funds without these documents?  

All DDAs are encouraged to submit their plans, budgets, acquittals, inspection reports and audits and to provide their contact details for inclusion on the website - contact form.
