Proposed Policies for Developing Small Enterprises in Yemen

Abstract

This study examined "Proposed Policies for Developing Small Enterprises in Yemen" and demonstrated that small enterprises constitute a fundamental pillar of economic and social development, particularly in developing countries like Yemen. The research found that this sector holds significant potential to create employment opportunities, increase income, and empower marginalized groups, especially youth and women.

The results indicate that small enterprises face major challenges, including weak financing, absence of organized government policies, and insufficient managerial skills and expertise among enterprise owners. Based on this analysis, a set of proposed policies was presented, including facilitating access to finance, providing training and capacity building, improving the legislative and regulatory environment, and enhancing technical and logistical support.

The study concludes that the advancement of this sector requires clear political will and effective collaboration among the government, private sector, civil society organizations, and international partners, alongside a comprehensive national strategy to ensure sustainability and strengthen the developmental impact of small enterprises.
