Abstract	This manual provides a preliminary survey of Peace Corps activities in the area of small enterprise development and identifies some common factors leading to success or failure in programming this type of project. Chapter 1 presents an overview of Peace Corps policy toward and involvement in the field of small enterprise development. The emphasis is on more recent developments. Chapters 2-4 present three individual case studies that describe the projects that have made up the small enterprise development program in Cameroon, Ecuador, and the Philippines. Each chapter contains background information on the country, Peace Corps programming in small enterprise development, project experience, and training. Each chapter concludes with a section discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the projects from a programming standpoint. Drawing upon the experience of the small enterprise development programs in the three selected countries, the final chapter analyzes past programming approaches and draws from them a list of suggested criteria for successful Peace Corps participation in small enterprise development projects. The appendixes provide information on the resources used to conduct the study. (YLB)
