The study concluded that in its committee, market management committees supported monitoring and assessment. The projects introduced gave the recipients the ability to profit, both directly and indirectly, and provided them a favourable legal structure for business growth projects. The government has informed market management committees of its assistance. The study recommended that market management committees in their committee should support monitoring and assessment. Implementation of a project can foster mutual ownership of the project. A favourable regulatory structure for business growth projects should be available. The Government should ensure that it supports market management committees.en_US
