Project Description

A clear need for specialized SME management training has been identified by BICIM in Mali. Business Edge (BE) will be deployed in Mali using a commercial model, where IFC will work with BICIM and selected local training providers in order to provide the required technical assistance to identified SMEs. IFC will draw from its global expertise in value chain solutions and capacity building to deliver the project, implementing the following two components: - Component 1: Capacity Building for BICIMs selected SME portfolio of pharmacy clients (small/medium-sized pharmacies), as well as BICIM staff. - Component 2: Capacity building support to other potential SME clients in the overall pharmaceutical and health sector.
