In addition to applying some financial standards. The results showed a statistically significant relationship at a significance level of 0.05 Between the economic dimension and the learning and growth dimension, and the internal operations dimension of the project and the efficiency of its performance, and as the results of the evaluation of the studied projects showed the presence of good economic efficiency, where the general average reached 2.47 and a relative importance (82.24%), and good learning and growth with an average of 2.47 and a relative importance (82.35%) ), and internal operations with an average of 1.85 and relative importance (61.66%) In light of the significant increase in the prices of production inputs, establishment expenses, and the lack of necessary resources, the research recommended the necessity of providing financing institutions specialized in providing loans to small and micro agricultural projects, and issuing supportive legislation and policies to promote small and micro agricultural entrepreneurship.
