Gauteng Enterprise Propeller: Impact Evaluation of SMME Support Programmes

Mthente has been commissioned by the Gauteng Enterprise Propeller (GEP), to evaluate the impact and measure the effectiveness of its programmes over the last four years. The programmes support the establishment, growth and sustainability of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) and Cooperatives in the Gauteng Province.

In addition to measuring effectiveness, the research will identify programme failures and make recommendations for improvement in the rollout of GEP’s programmes for the coming financial years.   The evaluation includes a survey amongst 1 500 of the SMMEs on GEP’s database.
