Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia contribute greatly to the economy. With this large contribution, the government helps the growth and sustainability of MSMEs through policies and programs. However, MSMEs still face many challenges. Therefore, this research aims to outline these challenges, to understand the effectiveness of government support for MSMEs, and to find the main support that MSMEs need and the strategies that MSMEs can implement. In this qualitative study, in-depth interviews will be conducted with entrepreneurs and government representatives. Finally, this research presents the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, strategies for pursuing growth, and proposed approaches in government policies and programs.
