description:

That although training and financing of GOWEs were not mutually inclusive (that is one could benefit from one and not necessarily the other) it would have been more appropriate to train beneficiaries first before recommending them to financial institutions for financing where such a situation arose. This would help minimize the risks of financial losses-which can back fire and dent the image of the financier and implementing agencies. The case for one woman entrepreneur in Mombasa (who said that she felt that she would have utilized her loan more effectively if she had been trained in the first place) attests to this point.
