RECORDS OF
This series documents efforts by PLAN to assist in the development of small business enterprises owned and operated by the individuals and families PLAN serves in program countries. Through its field offices, PLAN provided grants or loans, technical expertise, training, and the raw materials to individuals and groups seeking to start small business enterprises. Among the businesses begun with PLAN support were fishing cooperatives, fish processing plants, carpentry, poultry farms, and grocery stores. The Micro-enterprise Development Program described in this series differs from the Income Generating Project in Series XIX in that the businesses in the former tended to be of a larger scale than those of the latter and in that there was a greater emphasis on cooperative enterprises in the Micro-enterprise Development Program. The types of records include annual reports, case studies of a number of small business enterprises assisted by PLAN, grant proposals, program manuals and guidelines, correspondence, and memos. They are arranged alphabetically by subject or type of record and chronologically within folders.
