This manual is intended to guide development workers in their efforts to support women's enterprise development. Part I, A Framework for Women's Enterprise Development, provides a brief overview of women's changing economic situation, assistance for enterprise development, and the issues an individual development worker must consider. Part II surveys the resources needed for an enterprise and outlines a planning/decision-making process for developing a business. These steps are described: planning, defining problems and setting goals, gathering information, generating alternatives and deciding among them, forming and implementing a plan of action, and monitoring, evaluation, and change. Activities and tools to accomplish these steps are provided. Examples are also presented as necessary. Part III presents a case study of a volunteer's support of enterprise development. Part IV lists available resources. (YLB)
