The study analyzed the level of street vendors' business participation in micro finance activities and it critically shows the role of micro finance institutions in economic development of businesses. The researcher used a cross sectional design in finding out the level of street vendors participation in micro finance activities and its role in economic development. It also assessed the challenges that face the street vendors in accessing micro finance services. It was discovered and concluded whether street vendors barely access microfinance loans and services because they do not possess bank accounts; they lack collateral security which makes it difficult to acquire loans. However it was recommended that once well utilized, microfinance institutions have a big potential in economically empowering street vendors. | en_US |
