SPSN was a six-year (2010-2016) partnership between the Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Australian governments. Australia invested almost A$120 million under the program to contribute goals under "PNG Vision 2050", the "PNG Development Strategic Plan (2010-2030)" and the "Medium Term Development Plan (20011-2015)". SPSN was delivered by AECOM Services Pty Ltd (formally URS Australia Pty Ltd).
