dc.description.abstract The Kenya government, the private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for quite some time now have developed support programmes to the MSEs in order to boost their performance and contributions towards development. This paper examines the extent to which the women entrepreneurs' perception of NGO intervention measures has influenced the performance of their micro and small enterprises. The study used questionnaires, interviews, and observation in data collection among 195 sampled women entrepreneurs in Eldoret Municipality. The data was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively using frequency distributions, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis while chi-square distribution was used to establish associations between variables. Hypotheses were tested, inferences made from which generalizations and conclusions were drawn. The study found out that among the interventions provided to women entrepreneurs are credit, training and business counselling received by respondents in varying degrees. Furthermore, the relationship between the interventions and enterprise growth was significant. It was then recommended that NGOs should continue assisting women entrepreneurs, increase credit levels, put more emphasis on training and enhance business counselling follow-up sessions. en_US
