Districts serve as the third and most localized administrative division in Papua New Guinea, with 87 districts operating below the provincial and regional levels. Each district functions as an electoral constituency represented by a member in the National Parliament, linking national governance directly to local populations. Districts are responsible for coordinating development projects, delivering government services, and implementing national policies at the community level. The district administration works to address local needs in areas such as health services, education, infrastructure maintenance, and rural development programs. District Development Authorities manage funding allocated from the national budget to support these initiatives and facilitate coordination between provincial governments and local-level governments within their boundaries.
