Informal initiative among Zimbabwe's artisans
There is much contemporary debate among economists, planners and development workers about the so-called 'informal sector' and its role in the national economies of developing countries. Some observers believe this sector of the economy needs to be regulated and brought into the formalsector; others think that its dynamism and responsiveness to demand must be encouraged, and that its effectiveness as a generator of employment and income depends upon maintaining its informal status. What is clear is that the informal sector cannot be ignored when considering the social and
economic development of the countries of the South.This article describes an initiative taken by a ENDA-Zimbabwe, which seeks to identify the promise and problems of working with informal sector artisans.
