Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the effectiveness of Small Business Support programmes in South Africa and addresses the challenges and other fundamental issues of market failure. The argument is that most intervention programmes do not always translate into positive economic development. With that, this book discusses and presents theory and conceptual models used to measure the effectiveness of a state grant-funded programme, and foregrounds perspectives and objectives of the programme from implementation, evaluation and performance dimensions. Dr Timothy Olaniyi Aluko is a researcher in



the Department of Management Accounting at the University of South Africa (UNISA). He holds a PhD in Development Finance from University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. His research interest focuses on how development finance and public policy can drive small enterprise growth, strengthen financial inclusion, and foster entrepreneurship, while advancing sustainability within the broader field of economics. Dr Aluko has an established track record of publishing widely in respected journals, with contributions spanning themes of small business policy, finance for development, and institutional performance.
