Micro and small enterprises in central and northern Mozambique : results of a 1996 survey

Abstract
The survey covered both urban and rural locations in four provinces (Nampula, Zambezia, Manica, and Sofala), plus one rural district in Tete Province. The survey shows that, while the MSE sector in Mozambique is very widespread and is growing rapidly, most enterprises operate on a part-time and supplementary basis, supplementing household income rather than being its principal source. There appears to be both a need and a desire for credit and non-financial assistance to improve the performance of the sector. (Author abstract, modified)
