4.6 Non-Agricultural i nformal sector Goal: To promote th e non-agricultural informal sector (urban informal sector) to secure a livelihood for indigen ous entrepreneurs and to encourage progression into the formal sector, thus alleviating illicit activities that demean moral values and create disharmony in the major cities and townships Introduction PNG’s economy is predominantly agricultural with this sector contributing immensely through export revenue, generating income and employment opportunities, and sustaining rural livelihoods through subsistence farming. However, a rapidly increasing population has led to a growing number of Papua New Guineans who are becoming landless and are faced with fewer income earning opportunities in this sector. The non-agricultural informal sector (NAIS) provides the opportunity for people to venture into other informal ways of earning income and thus promote development of informal micro-enterprises. The informal microenterprise business concept is a step towards progression from an informal business activity to a commercially viable formal business. MTDP 2011-2015 The first MTDP introduces the strategies for development of the non-agricultural informal sector as a measure against the rise in social ills such as crime and prostitution. Lack of accessibility to agricultural land has resulted in limited opportunities for employment and wealth creation and for overall improvement in the quality of life for Papua New Guineans. The key strategy of the Government in facilitating entrepreneurial micro-enterprise activities is to ensure that the informal sector is an effective livelihood security for the landless while at the same time providing the basis for the development of a vibrant private sector. Hence, within the period 2011-2015, the first MTDP directs responsible agencies to set the legislative and policy framework for the industry to flourish and to enhance the capacity of the indigenous population engaged in this industry. Specifically, appropriate training programs will be set up for facilitating development of the informal sector and cottage industries. In addition existing policies will be improved and developed, including the Informal Sector Policy administered by the Department for Community Development (DfCD), and the Small and Medium Enterprises Policy implemented by the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC). To facilitate and foster growth of the sector, specific targets and measurable indicators will be identified to monitor implementation progress of the informal industry. Building on MTDP 2011-2015 Through the strategies identified by the Government for the non-agricultural informal sector, subsequent MTDPs will build on improving capacity and developing a specific credit line with agencies such as the National Development Bank (NDB) to promote growth of micro-enterprises and establish information and public assistance programs in the various locations across PNG. The subsequent MTDPs will ensure these programs and other incentives are further rolled out, paving ways for progression from an informal business to a commercially viable formal SME. Challenges in implementation Funding inconsistency and ineffective implementation will be important challenges in progressing informal business activity into commercially viable formal businesses. Lack of awareness and marketing will also play a major role in the underdevelopment of this sector. Government regulations can also play a role in inhibiting this sector. 80
