“…These programs are essential to ensuring that the food sold by street vendors is safe to eat and that hygiene regulations are followed (Monney et al, 2013). Furthermore, research highlights the need of augmenting the abilities and proficiencies of street food sellers via instruction, dissemination of knowledge, and infrastructural assistance in order to enhance their output and competitiveness (Nilakusmawati et al, 2019). Such initiatives to empower street vendors and increase their economic options might be implemented with assistance from NGOs.…”

This paper tried to explore the roles of non-government organizations in developing the skills of street food microentrepreneurs in health and safe food preparation and servicing in the western part of Bangladesh. The study utilized a qualitative approach, using a purposive sampling method to select respondents for in-depth interviews, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. The street food vendors and stakeholders were selected from the project team, and the research tools included in-depth interviews with 20 vendors, interviews with 8 key stakeholders, and two focus group discussions with customers and entrepreneurs. The researcher discovered that NGO plays a critical role in skill development for street food vendors in Bangladesh. Prior to the project, vendors were unfamiliar with safety, hygiene, cleanliness, and sustainable promotion. The project improved their skills in safety and security, market promotion, hygiene maintenance, cleanliness, and sustainable development by implementing various activities like training, meetings, workshops, food festivals and fairs, market linkage, stakeholder involvement, online and offline market promotion, and so on. The project also increased restaurant customers and market creation. However, the study found that food safety NGO workers and street food programs have collaborated to raise awareness about food safety, health, hygiene, and environmental issues. These initiatives have improved health and lifestyles, improved food quality, increased client numbers, and increased business profits. The stakeholders gathering in Bogura and Rajshahi focused on promoting product certification, with some microenterprises pursuing it. Microenterprises received work-based training on food safety and hygiene, leading to advancements in food packaging, safe raw materials, cleanliness, and hygiene practices. Product certification training increased stakeholders’ understanding of the importance of certification, and some MEs are now following it. The NGO organized a fair to highlight reputable food businesses and raise awareness of environmental sustainability, hygiene, and food safety. The entrepreneurs know how to prepare healthy dishes, increasing sales and revenue. This awareness have been raised due to the NGO’s interventions implemented for street food vendors in the study area.

“…The role of PKL as the informal economy which can absorb excess labor from a rural area on the urbanization process is explained by BPN (2020), Rini (2013), Nilakusmawati, Susilawati, andWall (2019), andHariyatno et al (2020). PKL is needed by people (Widjajanti 2015) even for the government (Tahir and Riskasari 2015) and they can pay the rent cost to the survival of their business (Benítez et al n.d.).…”

Street vendor (Pedagang Kaki Lima - PKL) is the most incarnation of the informal economy with the biggest role even at the state level. Unfortunately, PKL is blamed as the source of problems and surrounded by the threat of eviction which still happened in DKI Jakarta as the symbol and magnet of development in Indonesia. The qualitative method is used with study cases empowered by life history for revealing the vulnerability and survival strategy of the PKL household. The result shows the unforeseeable fact that PKL in Triangle Gold of DKI Jakarta potentially can reach income as same as regional minimum wage in DKI Jakarta. At the same time, the eviction and number of customers are the PKL’s vulnerability factors. Social capital is essential to start a new job or business as PKL, while strengthened by push and pulling factors to migrate from rural to city. Bridging and bonding with stakeholders through adaptation with the changing rule are the PKL’s main strategies to survive; besides preserving the identity and norms of PKL boost the adhesion of the PKL community to encounter a hard time. Beyond that, resignation value to God and effort for growing are determinant aspects that differ between PKL who have more or less revenue.

“…The recommendation put forward is that there is a need for better handling of women who work in the informal sector, so that it will create a high economic potential for family welfare, and it is necessary to handle it with sustainable policies and provide greater access to formal capital sources. Furthermore, Nilakusmawati, Susilawati, & Wall [19] modeled the income of street vendors using socio-economic characteristics. It was found that the variables that influenced street vendors' income were marital status, age, employment status, physical facilities, and the presence/absence of bookkeeping of business activities.…”

The aim of this research is to determine the economic activities of informal sector workers before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the survival strategies of informal sector workers during the pandemic, a comparison of the welfare of informal sector workers before and during the pandemic, and the association of survival strategies with economic activity. It is hoped that the research findings can provide recommendations for stakeholders for evaluating policies regarding improving the welfare of informal sector workers in the future. The research was conducted in four sub-districts in Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia. Data collection in the field was carried out using survey methods. The variables used include Socio-economic characteristics of informal sector workers, economic activity before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, survival strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic, and welfare. The data analysis method uses descriptive analysis and association analysis uses chi square analysis. The survival strategy of informal sector workers in this study was dominated by respondents' answers with the strategy of taking loans from informal lenders (30.7%). The strategy of relying on/applying for government social assistance programs (direct cash assistance, necessities, and other assistance programs) was answered by 14.7% of respondents. There were no respondents who implemented a survival strategy by switching to other types of work in the informal sector. The change in respondents' income during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before the pandemic was obtained by the majority (90.0%) stating that income from working in the informal sector had decreased compared to before the pandemic. The results of the association test show that there is a significant association between survival strategies and employment status, presence/absence of labor assistance, and physical facilities.
