Abstract: The importance of stimulating interest in entrepreneurship and small business is now recognized worldwide. In recent years, a number of organizations in Oman have started promoting entrepreneurship. In an attempt to diversify the economy and stimulate private enterprise development, government agencies and private institutions are participating in different entrepreneurship development activities. This paper provides a brief overview of the emergence of entrepreneurship education and training followed by a review of relevant programs and activities in Oman aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and small enterprise development. The paper also suggests how to enhance the efforts related to entrepreneurship development in the country and argues that a well developed comprehensive and co-ordinated program needs to be made available nationwide.
