This manual is intended to assist Peace Corps trainers in providing preservice technical training in small enterprise development. The manual includes a total of 40 training sessions divided among 10 learning modules. The following topics are covered: the main principles of small enterprise development; Peace Corps volunteers as small enterprise development consultants and trainers (business in a cultural setting, small business volunteers as extension agents, and training principles for small enterprise development volunteers); the business/project identification process (business/community assessment models and problem solving and goal setting in a crosscultural context); feasibility/viability assessment (the importance of feasibility/viability assessment, basic marketing concepts, the role of intermediaries in marketing, market information gathering, product costing and pricing, and quality control); project planning; basic budgeting; recordkeeping (recordkeeping in a cultural setting, record systems and cash books, noncash recordkeeping, income statements, and accounting for nonliterates); financial analysis; and proposal presentation; and evaluation. All materials included are targeted toward individuals who do not have academic backgrounds in business but who have become involved in local income-generating projects. All of the individual sessions have both a theoretical and practical basis in that they review important business principles and apply them specifically to host-country situations. (MN)
