36 pages
This paper describes CARE's formative experience of subsector analysis - a tool used to implement cost-effective interventions, designed to support microenterprise growth.
The paper presents case studies:
- CARE Thai silk project which has implemented leveraged interventions;
- CARE/Egypt's practical training in subsector analysis;
- CARE/Bangladesh's study on the bamboo subsector.
It provides useful insights on the application of tools for practitioners of microenterprise programmes. The document concludes that subsector analysis:
- Contributed to profound changes in CARE/Thailand's understanding of the silk subsector and the strategic importance of the project in promoting poor people within this growing subsector;
- Enabled project mangers to refocus project goals and implement operational changes needed to accomplish these.
