CARE Maradi's small enterprise development project
After three years of experimenting with, and developing, mechanisms which will directly benefit the rural poor, CARE Maradi in Niger has decided to narrow its activity focus down to credit and technical training. It is these two components that have generated real client interest, shownthe best results, and have the greatest promise for sustainability. The second phase of the project will now consist entirely of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of these activities and developing them into two sustainable institutions: a rural bank and a vocational training facility.
This article describes some of the lessons learned from the first three-year phase, current programming and an analysis of the future prospects for the project.
