This main program covers the St. Anna Timber Sawmill, St. Anna Mechanical Workshop, Raihu Cattle Farm, Building Construction and Maintenance and Concrete Product Workshop. The aim is to establish small commercial activities to generate small internal revenue for the Diocese while empowering people to kick start small commercial activities that whilst providing support to the evangelization work for meat supply, transport repair, timber supply, supply of concrete tiles and building blocks and construction and maintenance of hourse, buildings and other facilities.

Through this program, the Diocese has been seen as one of the main employers, (apart from the Government) in the area employing over 200 skilled and unskilled workers and providing direct income to over 800 people. The Diocese has also initiated and currently facilitated small-scale economic activities with emphasis on empowering people to make rational decisions in the exploitation of their natural resources in a sustainable way whilst maximizing direct benefits.

Some of achievements made by the program over the years include:
* establishment and presently running of the only timber sawmill servicing the whole of Aitape, Lumi and Nuku areas of Sandaun Province and even receiving customers from neighbouring East Sepik Province.
* establishment and presently running of a well-equipped mechanical workshop and a transport fleet in the Aitape area and presently running of the only cattle farm in Aitape, Lumi and Nuku areas and to a certain extend the whole of Sandaun Province providing meat for all people;
* establishment of a concrete product workshop (temporarily closed) which produced concrete roof tiles, concrete building and water tank blocks and concrete well liners for different clients in Aitape areas and;
* establishment and presently running a construction and maintenance team who provide services to the whole Diocese covering the areas of builidng, electrical, plumbing and general maintenance.

The program went through a major review between 2003 and 2004 as it became known that the entities were very costly and not able to make money. This was obvious because these entities were not conceived to be money making but service providers. Although these entities provided employment for the local people, they created large burden on the Diocese to find money to maintain these so-called services.

The review resulted in considerable scaling down or amalgamation of activities in all entities. A more profound change was the conclusion to privatize the potential money making entities including timber sawmill, mechanical workshop and the cattle farm. The sawmill and mechanical workshop have been privatized and currently operated by a company in partnership with the Diocese while interests are being sought for the farm.
