BRISBANE, April 1 Asia Pulse - Australian sustainable infrastructure contractor Cardno (ASX:CDD) has won a $150 million (US$103 million) contract under the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Australia Law and Justice Partnership, reports Queensland Business Review.

The five-year programme is being funded by AusAID, which is a government agency responsible for managing Australia's overseas aid programmes.

This new project will see Brisbane-based Cardno deploy a group of 20 to 30 professionals to Port Moresby mid-year, to strengthen the PNG law and justice system.

The team will try to achieve greater efficiency in government services, private sector development, protection of human rights and improved democratic systems.

Professional advice and proactive support will be provided to the local government in an attempt to tackle the targeted areas.

Cardno has also extended its contract for the AusAID-funded Basic Education Program in Indonesia until June 2010.

The extension increases the total contract value under management on this project to $171 million.
