What is the Effect of Government Strategic Plan (2006-2011) on Growth of Micro Enterprises in Nakuru Municipality?

Abstract

Kenya, like other economies, has been concerned about the persistent stagnation and decline in economic growth, accompanied by unemployment and community deterioration; and hence has considered micro enterprise (ME) development as one of the strategies to help reverse this trend. The government, being the manager of the economy as a whole on behalf of the community, is significantly affected by the activities of the MEs. This study sought to analyze the effect of Government Strategic Plan (2006-2011) on growth of ME in Nakuru municipality by determining the government interventions available to MEs as well as finding out the effects of these interventions on growth of MEs.

Keywords: Micro enterprise,  Government Strategic Plan, Government of Kenya
