Abstract:
Different societies are more or less developed because they are endowed with more or less enterprising social
groups. Entrepreneurship does not flourish in a social vacuum; its development is affected by cultural, sociopolitical
and policy contexts in a given country or region. The purpose of this paper is to examine the culture
of entrepreneurship in Ethiopia and analyse the role of micro and small enterprises development (MSED) as
an approach towards promoting the culture of entrepreneurship by drawing empirical data from Bahir Dar, a
fast-growing regional city in Ethiopia
