Strengthening Community Institutions that Support Local Microentrepreneurs in El Salvador
In most cultures around the world, municipal markets are popular places for starting up small businesses. An entrepreneur can set up a stall with very low overhead costs, and sell anything from food to crafts, from household goods to simple services. Some sellers pass their market businesses down through their families; others may use their market stalls as launching pads for larger projects. Communities also benefit from central marketplaces that offer shoppers a variety of fairly priced and locally produced products.In El Salvador, a new credit facility supported by the Inter-American Development Bank¿s Opportunities for the Majority (OMJ) initiative will help ensure that municipal marketplaces remain a vibrant part of the local economy and a cradle of entrepreneurship and innovation.
