Noken literacy is a local wisdom program implemented by a literacy
community in the land of Papua. This program was initiated with the
aim of increasing the understanding of people in Papua about financial
literacy. The method of implementation is by conducting field trips and
direct assistance to the people involved in the economic activities of the
market center in the Jayapura area. What distinguishes this program
from other programs is because of the uniqueness of the objects carried
by literacy activists when they go down to the field, namely a noken bag.
Noken is one type of typical Papuan bag that has many philosophies
about the Papuan people. It is hoped that the approach to using this
unique bag of Papua will make people interested in understanding about
financial literacy carried out by literacy activists. So that the decline of
literacy and financial inclusion in the Sharia capital market in Papua
can be overcome.
