Rural entrepreneurship in developing countries is facing a number of challenges such as limited access to capital, market, entrepreneurship skills and technology. Understanding the importance of assessing donors projects and to ascertain their contribution on rural entrepreneurship, this study examined the USAID funded Living Project implemented by CARE International in Tanzania, Morogoro region from January 2007 to December 2009. The objective was to assess the projects' contribution towards the development of sustainable rural entrepreneurship, using both primary and secondary data. Survey methods were applied to collect primary data using questionnaires, in addition to interviews and focus group discussions.

Eight samples were collected from three different locations: Bardbizin Mountain, Kanishilana and Rubarok area around the Sidakan district in the northeastern of Kurdistan region, Iraq. The studied samples measured by using gamma-ray spectrometry, planar HPGe detector with an active area of 100 mm2, with an energy resolution of 0.520 keV at the 122 keV Co-57 line and NaI(Tl) Scintillation detector 2x2 inch, with an energy resolution of 11.3 % at the 662 keV Cs-137 line. Activity concentrations of each of U-238 (Ra-226), Th-232 (Ac-228), Cs-137, and K-40, radionuclides were measured; Along the study area the average value of radium equivalent activities, absorbed dose rate, Indoor and outdoor annual effective dose, The average value of external and internal hazard indices were calculate
