The Asian Development Bank is to give Papua New Guinea an extra US$18 million loan for road improvements over the next two years.
The bank says this will be in addition to US$42 million in loans for the road sector over the same period.
The bank also says it will give PNG a US$15 million grant for fighting HIV/AIDS.
The lending organisation says the final amount will be linked to Papua New Guinea's performance in fiscal and sector management.
