APEP-2026-RFQ-020 - REQUEST FOR QUOTATION – SELF-EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP AMONG PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY IN PNG STUDY

The Institute of National Affairs (Hensen, 2026) study, 'Disability Support in PNG' (Devpolicy) found few people with disability in formal employment and Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) needing capacity support. The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Business Confidence survey conducted by APEP in 2025 indicated that 8% of business owners in PNG have a disability, most commonly physical or mobility-related, and followed by vision impairment.   

Women with disability face distinct and intersecting barriers to entrepreneurship. PNG research has identified inaccessible and unsafe market spaces and transport, limited access to tailored business training and finance, negative public perceptions, and family expectations as constraints on their economic participation. Women entrepreneurs with disability may also face additional business costs associated with assistive technology, equipment, and support.  

The Opportunity

Australia-Papua Economic Partnership (APEP) seeks an experienced consultant and/or firm to study self-employment and entrepreneurship among people with disability in PNG, supporting equal rights to work and livelihoods under CRPD Article 27 (ratified by PNG in 2013). The study will engage OPDs and people with disability participating in informal/formal economies, unsuccessful formal-economy entrants and those facing entry barriers. It aims to increase economic participation and improve family livelihoods. See the attached Scope of Services.

Bidders must formally partner with at least one OPD, with its own budget, agreed deliverables and decision-making role. Select a subcontract, service agreement or grant with the OPD, proportionate to its size, capacity and role. Due diligence and compliance will be proportionate, with support as needed. Disability-led or co-led teams receive favourable weighting. An OPD contact list is available on request.

The study will be conducted from December 2026 to June 2027, totalling 90 business days.

Interviews, focus groups and surveys will engage provincial/district authorities, local OPDs and people with disability in two provinces per region. Budget for travel, accommodation and vehicle hire, with a separate line for participation compensation and accessibility/reasonable accommodations for participants, peer researchers and reference group members (accessible transport/venues, sign language interpreters, support persons, inclusive materials and alternative formats). Anticipated locations:

  • Momase: Lae and Wewak; 
  • Southern: Port Moresby and Daru; 
  • Islands: Kokopo and Kimbe; 
  • Highlands: Goroka and Mt Hagen.

APEP’s GEDSI and Economic Research and Dialogue teams will supervise the study.
