description:

Care should be taken in the promotion of 'micro social enterprises'. This is a rare model of enterprise and can be difficult to pursue. Enterprise development in poor communities can be frustrated by supply-oriented interventions that force aspiring business people to provide a social good or service. Business development in these locations is hard enough without forcing unemployed people to take on these idealist models of development that are largely untested.
