The 2006 Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Micro-Enterprise Survey was conducted in May 2006 alongside the 2006 DRC Enterprise Survey. The Micro-Enterprise survey targeted small, private, non-agricultural firms with fewer than 5 employees. Data from 104 establishments were analyzed.
Micro-Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. The questionnaire also assesses the respondents' opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance.
