    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;The aim of this study was to investigate factors affecting the performance of small and micro enterprises (MSEs), with a special focus on textile and garment, food processing and wood and metal work sectors in Debre Brehan, Ethiopia. For this purpose, the study employed mixed methods cross sectional survey research design in which both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for collection and analysis of data obtained from sampled respondents. Purposive sampling, comprehensive sampling and stratified sampling techniques were used for selecting Debre Berhan Town as the research setting, nine kebeles in Debre Berhan Town, and 150 SMEs respondent operators in Debre Berhan Tow, respectively. Using an adapted questionnaire comprising open-ended questions, close-ended questions and Liker scales, quantitative data were gathered from a sample of 150 respondent SMEs operating in Debre Berhan town. In addition, with the use of face-to-face interview, quantitative data were gathered from 20 SMEs operators randomly chosen from the 150 SEMs operators. The quantitative data gathered from the respondents were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical procedures. The interview data were also analyzed using descriptive narrations through concurrent triangulation strategy. The findings revealed that there are eight major challenges which are believed to have a negative influence on the performance of SMEs operating in Debre Berhan Town. The challenges include inadequate finance, lack of working premises, marketing problems, inadequate infrastructures, poor management practices, and technological, entrepreneurial and politico-legal problems including bureaucratic bottlenecks system.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
