To initiate training programs for SMEs aimed at improving access to finance through technical assistance programs. Consider regular conducting of such programs on the ongoing basis with budget and/or donor funding, for example, through regional business support centres. To avoid a formalized approach to implementing such programs (for example, when performance is assessed based on the fact of the training itself), introduce measurable and focused key performance indicators, such as quantitative indicators of the SMEs’ participation, the number of SMEs that have tried to or received funding after participation in training programs, and others.
