    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;The main aim of this study was to examine role of Microfinance institution in growth of&lt;br&gt; Small and Medium enterprises in Dilla town. This study was conducted by using both&lt;br&gt; descriptive and explanatory research design in collaboration with mixed research&lt;br&gt; approach. The study was conducted in related with SMEs operated in Dilla Town, taking&lt;br&gt; a sample of 100 owners/managers of SMEs, which are drawn from total of 532 SMEs by&lt;br&gt; using stratified sampling as per simple random sampling procedure. Data was collected&lt;br&gt; by using self-administered questionnaires distributed to the respondents and having 77%&lt;br&gt; response rate. The collected data was analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential&lt;br&gt; statistical techniques: among descriptive statistics; frequency and percentage was used&lt;br&gt; whereas inferential statistics and simple OLS regression analysis for which loan from&lt;br&gt; MFIs is used as independent and sales of SMEs as dependent variable. The results&lt;br&gt; showed that 62.34% of financing source for SMEs operated in Dilla town is supported by&lt;br&gt; MFIs, average yearly growth of sales is over 11.6% and 64.94% of sales growth of SMEs&lt;br&gt; was contributed by loan from MFIs. The regression result also supported that the&lt;br&gt; relationship of loan from MFIs highly affect the growth of SMEs by having 100%&lt;br&gt; coefficient of determination and 65% slop between predator and explanatory variables.&lt;br&gt; This was concluded that, there was significant effect of independent variable on&lt;br&gt; dependent variable. The study recommends that stakeholders should perform the issue&lt;br&gt; what they did and take an action for succession of SMEs.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
