Abstract:This article examines two policies targeting the informal open-air market and fishing sectors in Jinja, Uganda. The informal sector has grown to become a significant source of livelihood for people in growing cities such as Jinja. At the same time, development policies have become increasingly concerned with encouraging formalization as well as the participation of local stakeholders in governance and decision-making. While there has been much debate about the potential impacts of formalizing previously informal, unregulated, unpermitted activities, the implications of these policies for informal vendors and fishers have received less attention. Despite their promises of addressing previous marginalization, the patterns of participation and formalization enforced by these two policies in Uganda have reduced the control of these individuals over their own livelihoods, as well as intensifying contestations of local authority and jurisdiction over resources.

Analytical Approaches

One of the analytical approaches that has been widely implemented in regional development planning is input-output (I-O) analysis. I-O analysis, based on an I-O table, can provide the basis for sectoral development planning by simulating the impact of policy scenarios. One area that has published Table I-O is Temanggung Regency, to represent its 2016 economy. Community Service Activities (PKM) aims to provide training and technical assistance to Temanggung Regency planners in using I-O analysis to design regional development planning documents. The results of this activity show that the participants technically understood and were able to analyze with Input-Output. Assistance was also carried out after the participants were able to use and analyze the Temanggung Regency I-O Table, and subsequently could become one source of information in the preparation of strategic development policies and programs.

To Come

In earlier studies of the informal sector, and in particular in its association with small-scale, cottage and household manufacturing industries (HM), this sector was commonly considered as economically backward, low-income and offering few possibilities for raising productive employment. Later studies, by Allal and Chutta (1982) questioned this view , and noted, in addition, that informal activities are an important source of income and employment for a large portion of the population and will remain so over a long period to come and cannot be neglected , therefore, in t he design of development policies. The recognition of the importance of this sector has not removed two major obstacles in the investigation of the sector: data and viable analytical frameworks. Additional insight in the sector requires primary data collection of an unregistered population, and developing an analytical framework for studying settings with significant institutional influences. ll1is paper reports on the collection of primary data and on an analytical framework which were applied in a field survey of the informal sector in the context of urban areas in Pakistan
