A conceptual framework for an integrated one-stop portal to support Indigenous small business enterprises : setting foundations for/enhanced policy use, financial inclusion and networking

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

This book chapter examines the policies and programmes in place to support Indigenous Business Enterprises and whether there is an effective integration of technology platforms to enhance financial inclusion as set out in the National Business Sector strategy. This is part one of a phased research project which seeks to establish if there is a case for designing a one-stop integrated technology platform that provides IBEs with information on support services, networking and financial inclusion in line with the NBS strategy. A secondary data-based exploratory approach was used to identify and evaluate relevant broad government policies and programmes (and other white papers and research work) that deal with Indigenous people to achieve the aforementioned. (Federal and State); to identify Institutional representative bodies that target Indigenous peoples’ participation in business enterprises, specifically to identify, map and evaluate their programmes; and to identify comparative international government policies and programmes that specifically target Indigenous peoples’ participation in business enterprises to draw some lessons and benchmark practices.
