The World Bank in collaboration with the
Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF) conducted an assessment
on the constraints and opportunities faced by non-farm
household enterprise owners when starting and growing a
business. The report highlights the findings from two
applied methodologies namely a qualitative toolkit and a
quantitative analysis. The toolkit included several
qualitative techniques like focus groups, life stories, key
informant interviews, and a community mapping exercise
administered to 385 individuals from eight communities,
among whom about a third were beneficiaries of the
countrywide TASASF III - Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN)
program. The quantitative data had rich information on 7,400
Tanzanian households and included a specific section on
household enterprises. The authors found that the major
constraints household enterprise owners face when starting
or growing a business are lack of access to financial
resources, weak markets and high competition among
themselves, and lack of skills. Participants also identified
severe weather conditions (droughts and rainy season) as a
risk for their businesses and their communities. The report
concludes with recommendation for TASAF and the Tanzanian
government as they move forward towards the next phase of
the PSSN program. |
