Micro-Enterprise Development Program (MEDEP)

MEDEP has been successful in making the government to recognize that micro-enterprises belong to a different category of industries and therefore required different intervention approach, methodology and targeting. MEDEP has been successful to influence not only policy making at the national level, but also the planning and implementation of local bodies and the need for them to promote ME development for poverty reduction, employment generation and inclusive development. Despite of missing institutional development component, MEDEP has been successful to create several institutions from the central to grassroots level which are likely to continue to operate and promote micro-enterprises in the foreseeable future. Despite larger impact of MEDEP in creating institutions, performance and sustainability of these institutions has not been very promising as anticipated. Evidence further reveals that its inclusive development approach, effective targeting of poor and excluded creation of employment opportunities for unemployed youths have encouragingly contributed to peace building and reduction of conflicts.
