Abstract

This paper is designed to fill some of the missing pieces of the small industry mosaic. It is based primarily on the findings generated from a set of studies financed by USAID and conducted jointly by Michigan State University and local scholars to uncover, describe, and analyze small scale industrial enterprises in a dozen countries. The key findings from these studies as well as their implications for policy and programs provide the main focus of this paper.
