Government’s Role to Protect the Small Business of Local Communities Legally in Papua

Abstract

In this context of the government’s role in field of small business, the government has not optimazed the availability of the legislation and the availability of infrastructure and facilities as needed for the small business development in Papua.

Keywords: the role of Papua’s government, small business, local communities.
