Resumen
Descripción
The Bay of Bengal Programme for Small-scale Fisheries Development (BOBP) has, in its work with small-scale fishing communities, seen a need for alternative employment opportunities in coastal areas where fish resources are heavily exploited. The creation of small village businesses is one strategy for individual upliftment as well as strengthening village-level economic development. Experience has shown that many very small businesses or microenterprises fail due to lack of managerial skills. The idea of imparting basic business skills through experienced field workers of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) was thought of as a means to provide already existing as well as future microenterprises with on-the-spot managerial advice. This practical manual on small business development is the outcome of this belief.
