Financing non-farm enterprises: use of sub-sector analysis in the Gambia

Baydas, Mayada M.; Meyer, Richard L.

The focus of this study is the financing of non-farm manufacturing enterprises in low income countries. The study reveals important differences in the sources of financing among four manufacturing sub-sectors in the Gambia. Implications of the study suggest that if formal intervention schemes are necessary, then providing support through economic sub-sectors may be a most efficient method to reach small enterprises.
