Rural Entrepreneurship and Development

Abstract

An attempt is made in this paper to discuss the key issues related to entrepreneurship and its relationship with rural development. The analysis is then broadened to understand the determinants of rural entrepreneurship and the environment conducive to its development. Consequently, the policies that are necessary to make this environment favourable have been discussed in detail. The generic constraints that are faced by rural enterprises have been listed out. The paper also emphasises the importance of rural enterprise development in Eritrea.
