a research inquiry

(Pardon me for multiple posting.)

I am undertaking a research project at Women's World Banking on
non-financial business development programs for micro and small
businesses. We are interested to identify factors contributing to the
success of non-financial programs and services from cases around the
world. Would anyone who knows not-well-known but innovative
programs/services be kind to give me leads?

Categories of programs and services to be considered in this three-month
research include: technology transfer, general business training,
sub-sector specific initiative, commercial services, individual
mentoring/counseling, to give a few examples. Our focus is the bottom
half population in the developing countries, but relevant cases from the
developed world are also welcome.

Please direct your email to:

hk31@columbia.edu
or wwb@igc.apc.org (please write "mail to Hideki" under "Subject")

Thank you.

You should contact MS Foundation in New York. They have coordinated a
national initiative on microenterprise for low-income women. Will have
lots of contacts.
Best of luck.
