The study recommends that women should be sensitized on the importance of involving in income generating activities as this will help them to be self-reliant. It also recommended that women should be encouraged to attend adult literacy classes as this will help in better organizing and carrying out of income generating activities. In order to improve on their performance, the local government should assist women by linking them with financial institutions so as to acquire loan and women should be encouraged to form cooperative groups for easier access to loans.
