"Empowering small and medium enterprises to adapt more “green” and sustainable practices, should be at the heart of Papua New Guinea’s plans for growth and job creation - as we emerge from the COVID pandemic."
UNDP’s Resident Representative in Papua New Guinea, Mr Dirk Wagener shared this reflection to dignitaries, government and business leaders at the 2022 Breakfast with the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, held in Port Moresby.
Mr Wagener said Green MSMEs (macro-small-medium enterprises) contribute to the protection of the climate, environment, and biodiversity through their products, services, and business practices.
"UNDP is proudly working with MSMEs to empower women and better engage with youth” - Dirk Wagener.

“We must look forward at the opportunities for rejuvenation rather than return. In other words, we must seize the opportunity to broaden Papua New Guinea’s economy away from a dependence on extractives and towards ‘greener’ options,” said Mr Wagener, at the annual business event in celebration of International MSME Day, with the Prime Minister Hon. James Marape.
