Though MEDEP has shown that micro-enterprise development is a good tool for
poverty alleviation, it has not been widely adopted in the country. It indicates that people do not know much about it and its impacts on poverty reduction. This study was undertaken to provide this information by finding out the social, cultural and economic effects of micro-enterprises among the entrepreneurs. The analysis was carried for before and after MEDEP interventions in shoe-making enterprise. This study has concluded that MEDEP has achieved its goal of improving socio-economic status of low-income families. Furthermore, this study has confirmed that MEDEP's model of creating and developing micro-enterprise is a good tool for diversifying livelihoods and increasing earning of low-income families in rural areas. In view of the low participation of women, it is hereby recommended that MEDEP should focus more on women in its future activities. Though the study was limited to one type of enterprise (shoe-making) only, it has shown that skill development training is an essential tool for the promotion of micro-enterprise.
