Micro Enterprises Development for Poverty Alleviation -Volume 2 (Nuwakot and Nawalparasi)
|
Micro-enterprise development has always remained the backbone of the national
economy due to its contribution to employment opportunities, income for the
poor and overall empowerment as a consequence. This research was conducted to
assess the relationship between micro-enterprise development and empowerment
of people in MEDEP. Although the analysis was carried out with data from two
districts only (Nuwakot and Nawalparasi), this study has provided indications on how MEDEP’s approaches to MED contributed to empowerment and development.
MEDEP activities were found to be more effective in creating micro-enterprises.
After operating an enterprise, micro-entrepreneurs, have experienced change in
their position in households, status in society, mobility and political processes. This study has concluded that the MEDEP model is a holistic approach to enterprise development. It has recommended that MEDEP approach to enterprise
development should be disseminated widely. MEDEP’s key learning on micro-enterprise development and empowerment should be documented and shared
among relevant stakeholders including planners and policy-makers. Awareness
among planners and policy-makers on contributing factors of micro-enterprise
development to empowerment should be made to transform into policies.
