The study used descriptive survey. The study focused on all the 475 MSEs youth groups that benefitted from the government YEDF loan and a sample of 95 groups was used.

Filling of the questionnaires were done by the manager of the MSEs which were dropped and were picked later. The quantitative data items of the questionnaire were assigned ordinal values and analyzed using statistical frequency tables and percentages. Inferential data analysis was done using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis (multiple regression analysis) and the analysis was facilitated by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 25.0).
