The development of microenterprises can play a vital role in driving inclusive growth in Bangladesh’s economy. While microfinance is one of the components of enterprise development, they are not synonymous.
For the development of microenterprises, the ways of thinking and the awareness among targeted people should be developed, the inequality of opportunities should be eliminated, and the effective participation of the marginaliswed people of the society should be ensured.
The views were shared by economist Dr Selim Jahan, also a former Director of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), at an event titled ‘Small Ventures, Big Future: Microenterprise as Engine of Inclusive Growth in Bangladesh’ held at PKSF Bhaban in the capital, says a press release.
“People should be given the mean to dream, to go beyond their dreams, and they should be supported with the necessary resources to realize their dreams …. Only then will development activities gain momentum, and the economy will be stronger,” Dr Jahan said.
