Project Description

The program, which continues implementation of Business Edge Africa Phase 1 (# 568347) and SME Toolkit Africa Phase 1 (# 560845), addresses the management skills gap to increase the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Sub-Saharan Africa. It offers easy-to-use, no-cost (for end users), high-quality information and tools (SME Toolkit), proven learning methodology (such as Business Edge), trade standards, and a strong network of training partners. The objective is to improve the performance and growth potential of the MSME businesses and remove impediments to their competitiveness.
