Micro & Small enterprise (MSE) Support

The non-official sector is often the principal employment area in developing countries.  However, the lack of managerial know-how and experience of these small entrepreneurs results in inaccessibility to credit, a slow-down on investments and numerous bankruptcies. Based on this context, the IECD wishes to help these small creators strengthen their business skills by offering them adapted non-financial services (management training, individual accompaniment, resource centres, etc.) and by structuring the microfinance cooperative networks.
