10.2 Pre-start-up training: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| Data from a 1997-98 training needs assessment of informal sector operators found
that over 75 per cent of informal sector operators had primary education, while only
seven per cent had attended vocational training courses. Most had acquired their skills in
a variety of trades through apprenticeships or directly from their peers, but were unaware
of the theoretical aspects (reported in Mlingi, 2000, p. 81). Only 5.3 per cent of the MSEs
in the Swisscontact (2003) study had received any entrepreneurship training, and even
fewer in new product technologies or costing and pricing. This suggests that most MSEs
are “learning through trial and error” or from the practical know-how of other operators. |

9.3.2 The Small Industries Development Organization: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| SIDO, with an office in 20 of the 21 regions of the mainland, is a large provider of
financial and non-financial services to MSEs. They have 70,000 credit-delivery clients
and reach 300,000 MSEs through their small business training and consultancy services.
The key informant from SIDO stated that there is a big gap in the capacity of the
organization to meet the demand for credit – of the 71,000 credit applications they had in
the system in November 2003 (for loan amounts totalling TShs 27 billion), they will only
be able to fund about 10 per cent. |
