Disabilities and Entrepreneurship in Makonde Rural Community in Zimbabwe

Jabulani Mpofu, Almon Shumba · 2013 · Studies of Tribes and Tribals

Summary. This study surveyed 137 people with disabilities in rural Zimbabwe to assess their participation in entrepreneurship programs. Researchers found that entrepreneurial activities excluded people with disabilities through lack of access to education, restrictive policies, social discrimination from non-disabled peers, and denial of credit from financial institutions. The authors recommend government intervention to include disabled populations in entrepreneurship initiatives to reduce rural poverty.
