The first section provides a general survey of the problems of promoting enterprise and the relative failure of what has been done to date. The second is a brief reviewof the literature on Swazi entrepreneurship. The third section looks at Swazi attitudes towards entrepreneurship and risk taking. Fourth, the Swazi entrepreneur's accessibility to finance is explored. The last section presents the conclusions. This study is based on data collected during fieldwork
from 1985 to 1989 from entrepreneurs and officials from banks, the government, small business development agencies and international aid agencies. In total 300 interviews were conducted.
