9.3 Micro-finance institutions (MFIs): Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| Micro-finance operators in Tanzania function within the framework of the
Government’s National Micro Finance Policy of 2000. The objectives of this policy are
to provide the basis for the evolution of an efficient and effective micro-finance system
to serve the low segment of society and contribute to economic growth and poverty
reduction (as described in MIT, 2002). The policy establishes a framework within which
micro-finance operators will develop, lays out the principles to guide operations of the
system, defines roles and responsibilities of actors, and provides guidelines for
coordinating mechanisms. The Central Bank was given the mandate to coordinate
implementation of the policy. It is interesting to note that the Micro Finance Policy
includes “gender equity” as a best practice. |

11.0 Business support and information: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| The state of BDS provision in Tanzania is not well known. A 2003 SME-Mapping
of Tanzania report concluded that existing BDS services are generally designed and
financially supported by donors for the micro-enterprise market (and thus, are very
basic), or are offered by professional consulting firms at high prices. |

16.0 Closing comments: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
| |
| In recent years, Tanzania has embarked upon the economic recovery process and is
continuing to build upon and address the needs of MSMEs. Key informants from the
MIT-SME Section acknowledged the current and future potential of women
entrepreneurs and, although seriously under-resourced for the tasks ahead, the SME
Section is enthusiastic and committed to working with the international donor
community to support this target group. Coordination of all support efforts is crucial. A
mechanism for achieving this is recommended – either an officer fully dedicated to the
development of women’s enterprise or the establishment of a more formal Office for
Women’s Enterprise Development (OWED). |

Government Support for Entrepreneurship in Nigeria : Exploring entrepreneurship in a declining economy
| |
| Recognizing the indispensability of the small-scale, private sector enterprise as the dynamic impetus for general economic development, many countries have instituted enterprise support networks and structures to fuel the development of these enterprises. Nigeria is not an exception in this regard. At various times since the 1970s, the government has designed and introduced a variety of measures to promote small and medium enterprise development. These measures included fiscal, monetary and export incentives. |

The Nature of Growth Oriented Enterprises: Constraints of growth-oriented enterprises in the southern and eastern African region
| |
| Categorizing an enterprise as "growth oriented" implies that there is an intention within the top management of the enterprise to grow. An initial assumption, when the current research was undertaken in 1999, was that being a growth-oriented enterprise per se does not imply anything about the size of the company. A self-employed person may have started an enterprise with the intent to grow, whereas an existing enterprise of twenty people may think they have grown enough. |

Ten Tips to Avoid Micro Management
| |
| Micro managing may make you feel in control but in reality you are only hurting yourself and the company. It only limits an employee's ability to be innovative and creative. This can cost the company thousands of dollars because it is the creativity and innovation of your employees that maximize the profitability of your company. Micro Management is often just a symptom of ineffective planning, too much compassion and the inability to judge performance and develop bench strength. Developing a strategic plan for your company is a very effective way to address any or all of these challenges. I often tell my clients that the most valuable part of a strategic plan is the development process itself. Running a company with a shoot from the hip mentality often encourages micro management and does not allow employees to develop their skills. |
