Business and trading activities were the second most frequent category of MSEs
that were being carried out by the WGs in the study area. These included MSEs such
as: Shop keeping: hotels; kiosks; selling of assorted goods; second hand clothes; cereals;
firewood; paraffin; and water. Out of the total sample of 171 MSEs, 19 per cent were
from this category of which 53 per cent were successful. Specifically, three shop
keeping MSEs, two hotel businesses, two water selling MSEs, two MSEs that involve
selling of assorted goods and clothes, and one project dealing with selling of cereals
especially maize were found to be successful and sustainable (Table III). The success
was attributed to the ready market for the products since most groups who carry out
such activities were located in town. However, the failure rate of 47 per cent was due to
the vulnerable situation in which these WGs operate. For example, most of them do not have insurance for their businesses and never advertise their products hence rely
mainly on the goodwill of their customers.
