MEDEP was piloted in 1998. It expanded to 36 districts by 2010 in its third phase (2008-13). The development objective of the program was to contribute to
reduce poverty among low-income families in rural areas, and to ensure the
institutional development and capacity building of local service delivery
organizations to work as catalysts in the development of rural micro-enterprise
sector. In order to reach its target group, MEDEP conducts natural resource,
market demand and target group surveys in the new program districts. As
Siraha was added as a new program district in the third phase, this study was
conducted to furnish these information. On the basis of the major findings, this study concluded that Siraha district has a high potential of developing micro-enterprises to create employment and income-generating opportunities for the MEDEP's target groups. For implementation effectiveness and better results,
MEDEP should concentrate its program on 32 new VDCs clustered around six
market centers. Entrepreneurs should be supported in marketing skill
development, market survey and marketing. Services of related institutions such
as DSCI, DADO, DLSO DWO, DFO, and other backstopping resources should be
integrated into the implementation of MEDEP activities.
