The long term aims of the Micro and Small Enterprise Training and Technology Project are to enhance entrepreneurial development in the private sector and, more specifically, reduce constraints to employment promotion and income enhancement in the micro- and small enterprise (informal) sector in Kenya. The project will accomplish this objective through a set of policies for enabling the entrepreneurial environment and developing a national training strategy to improve the quality, access, and sustainable financing of relevant skill upgrading and technology for the informal sector, and a related investment program. The investment program includes: (a) a micro- and small enterprise training fund; (b) a technology information, innovation and research program and pilot infrastructure development; and (c) institutional development. The project will make provisions for increasing women's representation in manufacturing through skills training and technology development suitable for upgrading their enterprises or bringing them into the sector. The Ministry of Research, Technical Training and Technology will use private sector contractors, training and research institutions, the Jua Kali Federation and Associations and employers as the primary agents to promote and implement the project.
