Management of women groups’ MSEs
Management is one of the factors that affect sustainability of a project. Data were
collected from 54 successful MSEs in order to determine the relative importance of
management to the success of those MSEs. The results are indicated in Table V.
Of the respondents, 50 per cent indicated that management was a very important factor
in determining the success of the project. The results therefore show that proper
management had contributed to the success of the MSEs. The study also sought to find
out whether management problems had seriously contributed to the failure of MSEs.
To this end, 41 MSEs that were started by WGs but later failed were identified and the
effect of poor management as a factor which might have contributed to their failure
was sought. The results are shown in Table VI.
The results show that poor management was a cause of project failure thereby
reinforcing the earlier assertion that proper management plays a very important role in
the success of the MSEs. In fact, when the respondents were asked about the problems
that they had experienced, 24 per cent of them indicated managerial problems
(Table IV). This was the second most pressing problem after lack of enough funds.
NGOs, government, donor agencies and community members were asked to rate the
management aspect of the WGs. A total of 143 responses were obtained and the results
are shown in Table VII.
Table VII shows that most agencies rated the management aspect of the WGs as
poor and average, i.e. 62 per cent against 37 per cent who rated it as good and very
good. They further agreed that management was a very important aspect that affects
the success of any given project, which explained why most WGs MSEs had failed.
The study investigated how the day-to-day affairs of the WGs were managed. A
total of 54 WGs were studied and the respons-es are summarized in Table VIII.
The results show that most WGs ran MSEs through committee members. Thus the
people that are directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the MSEs are: the
chairperson; the secretary; and the treasurer, who work as a team. However, 15 per cent
of the WGs that were sampled run their MSEs haphazardly, thus through any member
who has time and is capable of managing the MSEs. A total of 13 per cent of the WGs
indicated that chairpersons are the ones who manage the project affairs. Of those interviewed, 7 per cent indicated that they used a specialist or technical staff to run the
MSEs. Treasurers run MSEs for only 5 per cent of the sampled WGs. Some WGs also
indicated that they use secretaries to run their MSEs. However, no WG had employed a
qualified manager to run its MSEs. This may be the reason why management aspects
had adversely affected their MSEs.
