 Improving the Business Environment for Small Enterprises: Inter-agency information exchange
 
0
 
Welcome
Welcome to the inter-agency database of the Donor Committee's Business Environment Working Group. The database is used to share documents and information about donor-supported work to enhance the business environment to achieve pro-poor growth - with a particular focus on aspects of the Business Environment that discriminate against small firms.

The site has had over 575,000 page views since its launch in early 2005. For the 'sister' database on developing value chains and service markets, please click here. 		    News
The DCED Publication Supporting Business Environment Reforms: Practical Guidance for Development Agencies is now available in English and Spanish; the key messages are also available in French. The full French translation will be posted here shortly.
