Micro Enterprises Development for Poverty Alleviation -Volume 2
Abstract:
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 programme on 32 new VDCs clustered around six market centres. 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. #EnterprisesDevelopment #PovertyAlleviation
