Only 12 per cent of the WGs MSEs sampled had received at least some financial
help from donor agencies and embassies. These international donors do not specifically
target the WGs MSEs but the community as a whole. Individual community members
did not contribute any funds towards the WGs’ MSEs although the findings indicate
that give advice to the groups. The WGs indicated they pay tax to the government
which adversely affects their operation through reduced working capital, hence
interferes with their expansion plan of their businesses.
