Lesson Learned

Mobile Vendors: The Project too quickly abandoned the requirement for beneficiaries of the mobile vendor activity to cover 30 percent of the cost of new equipment (3-wheel motorbike and ice chest) with their own funds or loans, primarily from micro-finance institutions.

Mobile Vendors: The Project too quickly abandoned the requirement for beneficiaries of the mobile vendor activity to cover 30 percent of the cost of new equipment (3-wheel motorbike and ice chest) with their own funds or loans, primarily from micro-finance institutions. The National Institute for Human Development (INDH) made up the difference. However, this served to limit the number of beneficiaries. The activity trained and equipped 933 mobile vendors, significantly less than the original target of 2,000. Working to ensure adequate credit access of project beneficiaries may have helped improve the number of vendors successfully equipped by the project.
