Abstract

The study, based on 1988 census data of Dakar's informal sector, focuses on self-employment. Lack of financial resources is dentified to be the most important obstacle to entry and growth ofurban microenterprises. In line with this analysis, a large number of programmes andprojects for increasing productivity and incomes amongst other, through enhancing access to credit are reviewed. Specifically, the success of a USAID project in Dakar providing credit to microenterprises at high interest rates under close monitoring of the locally-recruited staff is analysed. Finally, issues for macro policy and micro policy interventions are presented.
