| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted in Singida Municipality to explore socio-environmental implications of sunflower Small and Medium oil processing Enterprises. A mixed methods approach was used to collect data; the methods were interview, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. SPSS was used to analyze the quantitative data whereas content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The results showed that socio-environmental implications were two-sided, meaning that there were both positive implications like job creation, innovation and infrastructure improvement, and negative implications like water pollution, conflicts, corruption and air pollution. Furthermore, the results indicated that sunflowers SMEs in Singida Municipality have challenges including small capital, poor infrastructure, poor technology, lack of training and development and high electricity charges and solutions for addressing those challenges were also mentioned. This study recommended the enhancement of positive implications and that development stakeholders should devise strategies to provide solution to negative implications and there is a need of promoting Public Private Partnership (PPP), so that the challenges encountered are addressed and the possible solutions are optimized. | en_US |
