This Policy Note presents an analysis of
and recommendations on the ongoing renovations of
neighborhood markets in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
(PNG). It is part of a program of work under the Urban
Safety and Security Technical Assistance Activity that began
in the National Capital District, Port Moresby, in late 2014
and is currently continuing in Lae, PNG’s second-largest
city.Neighborhood markets are crucial for the economic
vitality, safety, and social life of urban settlements. They
need to be safe and secure areas to buy and sell, especially
as women have a dominant presence in marketplaces, both as
vendors and buyers. But they also need to function
efficiently as markets, providing market sellers and their
families with a daily income and buyers with fresh, cheap,
and abundant produce, and they need to generate revenue to
meet operating and maintenance costs. Port Moresby’s markets
are by definition sites of economic opportunity. Yet, though
all have some leadership structure, many struggle to enforce
the rules and to access the resources required for safe,
secure, and efficient market business. The Policy Note draws
conclusions and makes recommendations relevant to the
challenges faced by market renovators, be they government
leaders and administrative officials, donor partners, or
local people on whom market renovations depend for success,
for each of the three phases of market renovation. |
