The purpose of the study was to investigate the role of PDM revolving funds in promoting income generation, evaluate enterprise development projects, and identify difficulties in implementation. A descriptive and analytical approach through a case study design was employed where both quantitative and qualitative research techniques were applied. Eighty respondents, including household beneficiaries, parish committee members, and municipal authorities, were interviewed and asked to complete questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS software, whereas qualitative data were analyzed thematically. It was found that the program has been successful in improving household living standards with regard to the fulfilment of basic requirements, payment of school fees, and access to medical care. Also, there have been increased cases of income generation and asset acquisition. Some of the problems facing the implementation of the project include delayed release of funds, insufficient funding, poor monitoring, political involvement, and lack of business skills. The study concludes that while PDM is capable of helping to enhance income generation and alleviate poverty, implementation difficulties limit its effectiveness.enDissertation
