Resumen
Descripción
This publication is a step-by-step guide to multiplying village micro-businesses by motivating rural micro-entrepreneurs to train others on how to copy their success. It is based on a joint project of FAO and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). Case studies from the project countries - Bhutan, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam - show how this can be a highly effective rural development and income generation tool. The manual also lists pitfalls to be avoided. More than 3300 farm households were trained under the project. An estimated 71 percent of these also became successful micro-entrepreneurs with an annual average income gain of US$449.
