Description
This entry gives details of the activities currently contracted by the Kenya BDS project, a 5-year micro- and small enterprise (MSE) development program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The objective of Kenya BDS is to increase growth and incomes among rural MSEs through: 1) access to markets; and 2) access to business services to compete in those markets.
Specifically, the program selects subsectors of high growth potential for MSEs, and identifies market inefficiencies along the value-chain. As critical constraints are identified, the program facilitates the delivery of appropriate business services to rural MSEs on a commercial basis. Areas of emphasis include business linkages, cluster development, and embedded service facilitation between lead firms and MSE producers.
Below are various reports from the different project components. The project's monthly newsletters are also posted as they become available.
