The objective of the workshop, to be carried out under the Peace and Development Fund on MSMEs, is to strengthen national capacities to provide technical assistance, capacity building and exchange knowledge on good practices; build enabling policy environments, by supporting the design and implementation of coherent policies, regulations, and institutional frameworks that foster an enabling environment for MSMEs to thrive in the context of the confluence of crises; increase the capacity of MSMEs to withstand challenges posed by climate challenges, rising inflations and interrupted supply chains; and expand access to high-value market opportunities, by supporting the integration of MSMEs into regional mechanisms such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the Asia-Pacific Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
The workshop aims to bring together policymakers and MSME entrepreneurs from project target countries, in addition to resource persons, along with representatives from intergovernmental organizations, donor agencies and the private sector, with priorities given to women, youth and persons in vulnerable situations.
