description:

Start and Improve Your Business and Wantok practices: The wantok kinship system operating in PNG generally reinforces sharing of resources and obliges one to assist another wantok, even to one's own detriment or loss. If these customs are extended to business operation the results can be disastrous. At least one SIYB trainer - the Madang District Individual and Community Development Organization - is specifically addressing this issue in its training and providing advice on how to navigate around it in a culturally appropriate way. Similar customs operate in other Pacific Island countries and this lesson could be applicable in projects implemented in these locations.
