Through USAID’s PNG Lukautim Graun Program (LGP) partnership and the micro bank, people living in rural and remote communities like Nasuapum are now receiving access to banking services. Such services have increased opportunities for improved sustainable and renewable livelihood activities and brings the people into the formal financial sector giving them access to a range of MiBank financial services.
Increased access to financial services such as micro and small loans to start businesses is expected to directly reduce pressure on biodiversity and forest habitats.
