Poole, David Entrepreneurs and SMEs in Rwanda (1786996251)
David Poole’s careful research in Rwanda blows fresh air into the stale atmosphere of conventional wisdom about entrepreneurship. This book should be required reading for aid officials and government officials and it will help them question the waste of resources poured into misguided credit schemes and training programmes in so many countries.’Christopher Cramer, Professor, SOAS, UK
‘At last, the development industry’s myth that entrepreneurs and enterprises can be generated with business plans and credit has been exploded, at least in the context of Rwanda.’Malcolm Harper
