The overall purpose of the study was to identify determinants of public works contract performance, in Benishangul Gumuz Region. The researchers used survey method for the study and data were collected from the target population by means of self-administrative questionnaire and sample was selected by using stratified sampling. Descriptive and inferential analysis was employed to analyze the determinants of public construction works contract performance. The consequence shows that all determinants like contractor performance, consultant performance, contract management, and risk management significantly and positively affects public works contract performance; on the other hand cost overrun significantly and negatively affects public works contract performance. Therefore, the researchers recommends that existing low level of public works contract performance should be improved in order to facilitate public service delivery and properly use of public money (wisely use of public resource). Moreover, contractors, consultants and clients should increase their performance. Therefore, owners, contractors, consultants and the concerned Government bodies who struggle to promote growth of public construction works contract should start at giving tremendous effort on this very prominent area. Following this public construction can be used as an engine for basic delivery of public service especially for the poor's and that improving public construction projects performance hence progress the welfare of the society at large.Keywords

The paper aims to explore the connection between microfinance and women entrepreneurship. This paper is based on existing empirical as well as theoretical literature across different contexts. Existing literature supports, microfinance enables disadvantaged section of women to start own micro-enterprises as well as expand already established micro-enterprises. Further, women have been able to generate employment in their micro-enterprises mainly in their localities. However, initial loans are generally diverted towards non-productive uses. These initial loans are seldom used for productive purposes, in some context, due to certain challenges such as small size of loans, frequency in loan repayment, lack of training and knowledge, marketing problems faced by women beneficiaries. It was found that women beneficiaries, however, are able to utilize their subsequent loans for productive purposes i.e. start or grow their microenterprises. The challenges which women confront in starting their own business ventures must be identified and addressed promptly. Further, there is a void in the empirical literature regarding impact estimation of microfinance on women entrepreneurship to be filled.Keywords
