| Summary: | The private enterprise partnership (PEP)
for Eastern Europe & Central Asia has been surveying the
small and medium enterprise (SME) sector for 10 years. What
began in 1996 as a survey of business practices among 250
entrepreneurs in Ukraine has grown into annual or biannual
surveys of administrative barriers to business development
in five countries. The SME surveys have proven vital for PEP
in building its regional business enabling environment
program. Specifically, running regular SME surveys
introduces four key benefits for business enabling
environment work: 1) building visibility for International
Finance Corporation (IFC); 2) building capacity for a new
local team; 3) motivating governments to reform; and 4)
monitoring project results and assessing the impact of
change to BEE. |
