Our Strategies
The Micro-Enterprise Development Programme takes a longitudinal approach while promoting the development of micro-enterprises for the poor. The longitude approach means delivering a package of services needed by entrepreneurs in a sequential order leading up to the establishment of sustainable enterprises operated and managed by the poor. Service providers in Nepal have in the past tried to address poverty by providing their assistance independently of other service providers. However, not correlating their services with other services, which are of paramount importance for the success of micro-enterprises; have resulted in micro-entrepreneurs being wedged from expansion and have been disorganized in terms of markets and management. The foundation of the enterprise development model promoted by MEDEP therefore based on the programme's strategic approach to inter-link and coordinate local resources, low-income people's interest in enterprise development and entrepreneur's access to local and national markets. The approach taken by the programme in Nepal in an innovative initiative and has opened up new debate in the development and private sector on the effectiveness of micro-enterprises to promote local economies, utilize natural resources, create economic and employment opportunities in partnership with the private sector.
