Portuguese term or phrase: Barreiras para gestão de micro e pequenas empresas no contexto Africano
Not much context as this is the Abstract/Heading of a paper on African MPEs.

Explanation:
Marlene has it almost right - but small always precedes "micro" and these are called enterprises in development-speak. Microenterprise is one word - in case it turns up by itself later.
