Abstract
Donor agencies have actively supported microenterprise programs during the past decade. Several evaluations have been conducted and identified their successes and failures. A particularly good evaluation was done by the U.S. Agency for International Development. This paper summarizes the highlights of this evaluation, identifies the characteristics of successful projects and discusses eight policy issues concerning microenterprise development.
