The paper presents an overview of
the current situation relative to the informal sector; the
existing public and private sector activities/ programs
for the informal sector; and recommendations in coming up
with policies and programs for the sector.
While
there are available existing programs that the informal
sector may avail, it was found out that most of these are
not really focused-limited for those in the informal
sector and that there is still no fixed definition of what
the informal sector is, who and what activities are really
involved.
