A sub-sectoral approach to small business and microenterprise development
A sub-sectoral approach to enterprise development has the capacity to identify particular factors limiting the incomes of poor producers in the manufacturing chain of a particular item. In dealing with such bottlenecks it is sometimes possible to have a much wider impact upon poor people'sincomes than other approaches to poverty alleviation, which may be limited to a geographical area. A further advantage of the sub-sectoral approach is that rapidly growing sub-sectors may be identified and poor producers enabled to take over more profitable elements of the manufacturing chain,
so as to benefit from the growth. This article describes the work of PRADAN in north India, and gives case studies of how a sub-sectoral analysis of production has enabled disadvantaged groups to increase their skills or change their working patterns and to sell higher-value produce, thereby
earning a better income.
