In this regard, the establishment of forest based micro-enterprises could be the most viable option to strengthen the economy along with the other aspects of their livelihood. In the present scenario, many forest based micro-enterprises have been established and are contributing to enhance the livelihood of those populations. In this context, this study examines the local communities, enterprises and plant diversity and their interrelationships from the eyes of the entrepreneurs and it aims to explore the current status of micro-enterprise, its contribution on livelihood and its impact on plant diversity.

Book Description
Micro-enterprises have always been reckoned as the key to extricating the poor from poverty. A burgeoning micro-enterprise sector also constitutes a fertile ground for medium and large-scale enterprises/industries to flourish. It seems reasonable, therefore, that many governments in poorer nations have recently given immense attention to the sector.This book deals with an empirical work on the contribution of micro-enterprises to sustainable livelihoods in a small town context in a developing country, Ethiopia, with an application of the sustainable livelihoods framework. By adopting the framework to the study of livelihoods in an urban setting, the work breaks new ground. It discusses the livelihood assets (human capital, social capital, physical capital and financial capital), livelihood strategies and activities, livelihood outcomes, sustainability of the livelihoods of micro-enterprise operators, the context in which micro-enterprises are run, and their constraints. It is thus an important material for policy makers, practitioners and researchers in the area of micro-enterprises and sustainable livelihoods

Book Description
The life-span of microenterprises in context of developing countries is curtailed by a myriad of challenges, such as limited resources, capacity, support and many others. ICTs are a potential antidote to the problems. However, there are challenges in using ICTs to sort out the challenges. The problems for microenterprises go beyond access to ICT and include social, political and economic factors such as lack of access to credit to start-up, lack of recognition within communities and the impact of HIV/AIDS. The research focused on the case of South Africa and was conducted on an intervention for supporting Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises. The study confirms the proposition that ICT has the potential for positive impact on the livelihood of microenterprises. However, use of ICT in microenterprises is not straightforward. Microenterprises face challenges which lead to non-use of ICT, despite owning or having access to ICTs. Chief among the problems is lack of awareness on how to employ ICTs in business activities. The study suggests the need for institutions and organisations to identify the needs for microenterprises in relation to the local context and existing local knowledge.

Book Description
This is a critical examination of the relative importance of electricity in the economics of growth, poverty reduction and the success of micro-enterprise with a direct impact on livelihood. While not all governments in developing countries seem to acknowledge the importance of the relationship between energy (electricity) and poverty reduction, some do recognize it as an essential link when promoting economic development. This research provides empirical data on the link between electricity and poverty reduction. It considers the role of electricity in poverty reduction through an assessment of the impact of acquiring and continuous access to electricity by micro enterprises and the impact of the changes on the livelihoods of their household. This describes the problem formulation thus: Does acquiring access to electricity have any effect on the viability of micro enterprises (ME) and poverty reduction? The focus is on the changes in the livelihood of the ME. Six main assets are identified as important to the livelihood of ME; human, social, technological, natural, physical and financial assets.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Company formation, Business Plans, grade: 4.6/7, Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University, course: B.A, LLB, language: English, abstract: The project at large will be dealing with the aspiration of the youth, the people who intend to build their startup and grow like the successful entrepreneurs. The term “entrepreneurship” comes from the French verb “entreprendre” and the German word “unternehmen”, both mean to “undertake”. Bygrave and Hofer in 1891 defined the entrepreneurial process as involving all the functions, activities, and actions associated with perceiving of opportunities and creation of organizations to pursue them. In simple, entrepreneurship is the act of being an entrepreneur, which can be defined as "one who undertakes innovations, finance and business acumen in an effort to transform innovations into economic goods" (Santhi and Kumar) This paper draws together arguments, conclusions and insights generated by research to develop and test practical tools that could help development practitioners use sustainable livelihoods approaches in the particular context of enterprise development. The constraint of finance seems to be the primary reason, though there are several other constraints which seem to have been hidden by the seasoned politicians. The act of not reimbursing the small-scale industries sectors has demoralized the novice and the adept entrepreneurs in executing their plan.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 2, Bharathiar University, language: English, abstract: The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the economic and social development of the country, often acting as a weapon for fighting against poverty. They also play a key role in the development of the economy with their effective, efficient, flexible, and innovative entrepreneurial spirit. The MSME sector contributes significantly to the country’s manufacturing output, employment, and exports and is credited with generating the highest employment growth as well as accounting for a major share of industrial production and exports. The MSME sector in India is highly heterogeneous in terms of the size of the enterprises, variety of products, services and levels of technology. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) contribute nearly 22 percent of the country’s GDP, 45 percent of the manufacturing output and 40 percent of the exports. They provide the largest share of employment after agriculture. The book is based on a research study conducted in one of the municipal regions of Tamil Nadu. This study aims to bring out the performance, problems, and prospects of Micro Enterprises promoted under Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) operating in Tiruppur municipal region of Tamil Nadu. It presents how the micro-enterprises helped the members of self-help groups to come up from poverty. The book also contains the reasons for failure of micro-enterprises.

Book Description
This book started with a vision to portray Sudanese rural livelihood and question whether microfinance is able to sustain rural living. The village of Al Dagag, in the North Kordofan state of Sudan, was chosen to be the research case study. However, further questions arose due to using the inductive methodology of Grounded Theory. Throughout the entire research process, different categories emerged from the data, which conceptualize the perspective of the rural people on livelihood, microfinance, and financial institutions. The path to remodel the livelihood approach led to including new determinants. (Series: Spectrum. Berlin Series on Society, Economy and Policy in Developing Countries / Spektrum.

Book Description
The goals of the National Workshop on Micro-enterprise Development in Coastal Communities in the Philippines were to exchange experiences and good practices and to identify financial and institutional support services and facilities to sustain livelihoods and micro-enterprise development in coastal areas. The workshop was attended by 45 participants from people's organizations, fisherfolk cooperatives, non-governmental organizations, national government agencies and financing institutions. The discussions at the workshop showed that livelihood diversification and the improvement of income and employment opportunities in coastal fishing communities are crucial for their participation in the conservation and management of aquatic resources. Key elements of sustainable micro-enterprise development as identified by the workshop include capability building of fisherfolk organizations such as cooperatives and associations to implement livelihood projects, the preparation of feasibility studies and business plans, technical skills development, sound financial management practices, development of innovative and high quality products, access to new markets including urban and regional markets and the full participation of fisherfolk in the identification of livelihood activities and micro-enterprises. The Pilot Project in Support of the Development of Micro-enterprises in Banate Bay, Iloilo and Southern Iloilo was implemented by the University of the Philippines in the Visayas in cooperation with the Banate Bay Resource Management Council Inc. and the Southern Iloilo Coastal Resource Management Council with support from FAO. A number of microenterprises were introduced and supported in the municipalities of Banate Bay and Southern Iloilo including fish ball production, shrimp paste production, oyster and mussel culture, salt production and iodization, fish marketing and fish sauce production. Training programmes were conducted for fisherfolk on product development and marketing of their products. Good coordination with local government units, active participation of all stakeholders and conduct of appropriate training programmes are considered essential for the sustainability of the micro-enterprises. The involvement of fisherfolk in livelihood activities and micro-enterprises is strengthening their participation in the fisheries and aquatic resources management councils of Banate Bay and Southern Iloilo. The experiences of the pilot project also suggest that in order to make various income generating livelihood initiatives sustainable and stand on their own feet, many of these need to develop further into full-fledged micro-enterprises. Considerable scope lies in farming of aquatic organisms such as seaweed, shellfish and various fish species as well as in fisheries related value adding activities such as fish processing and marketing. As far as the relationship between the conservation of aquatic resources and the generation of income is concerned, the quality of the aquatic environment and the economic success of mariculture micro-enterprises and activities are directly related. This should create a strong motivation for fisherfolk enterpreneurs involved in such type of enterprises to be strong advocates and stewards of a healthy coastal ecology. In the long term, fisherfolk will benefit from the development of various micro-enterprise initiatives. It is clearly in their interest.
