Therefore, the activities of the unit are centred on delivering an outcome that is reflective of the country’s human resource skill level and the relationship to productivity, in order to understand how we can contribute to nation building as per the Council’s 2022 theme.

The Business Participation Unit and the Equity Participation Unit highlights the relevance of having the private sector involved in dialogues and works with the Government, as an essential agenda in driving the economy forward. This unit will be focused on facilitating high level collaborations and content between the private sector and Government sector to address issues bordering content in the country.

UNITS

Skills Participation

This unit under BCPNG aims to identify through research from reliable sources, the various barriers to the attainment of required skills in respective areas and how to develop them in order to carry out business in an ideal manner. Better Innovation and Creativity sets one apart, ultimately boosting production levels through the ways in which work is carried out to maximize profits. Therefore, skills are an essential and most crucial aspect to any entity let alone business organization. PNG in its endeavour to rescue, recover and rebuild its economy during this trying times is more challenged by skills shortage in respective industries within the business realm in both the formal and informal sectors.

Business Participation

Business participation is the involvement of businesses in collaborating with the Government and in participating effectively towards the development of the nation. This collaboration will allow for the private sector to have an influence in informing policy making and reformation. This collaboration is even more important now as it aims to support the National Government’s overall economic agenda and to navigate the debilitating impacts of the pandemic and to propose new collaborative efforts moving forward. This unit is relevant in establishing that having businesses actively involved in the work and dialogues with the Government will contribute towards attaining a middle income status by 2030 as per the assertion in PNG’s Development Strategic Plan 2010 -2030.

Equity Participation

Equity Participation is the pathway for public sector enterprises to invest with private enterprises. Through equity participation the government is able to fund national projects and operations. It also allows for corporate interactions between companies that create a robust investment environment through an arrangement known as the Public-Private-Partnership. The equity participation unit will focus on maintaining the PPP and aim to identify and propose solutions to reduce issues such as exceeded debt, revenue loss, and stock exchange.
