What we are doing to support the SID 2023 slogan of "Together for a better internet"…
To ensure the safety of citizens including children while using the internet, various measures by the NICTA-facilitated PNG Safer Internet Committee have been implemented, such as supporting public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about online risks and how to stay safe, providing resources and support for individuals and families to protect themselves from online harm, and partnering with stakeholders to address online safety issues. It is essential that we increase our efforts to create a digital agenda that empowers and keeps safe our children.
What we are doing to mark the 20th anniversary of Safer Internet Day…
This key milestone will be observed on 7 February during the official launching of the Safer Internet Day 2023 campaign by the Honourable Timothy Masiu, MP Minister for Information and Communications Technology.
