Principles of good practice for business development support projects
   

Business-like and demand-led. The best BDS organisations at supporting MSE are like those MSE in terms of their people, systems and values.

· Sustainability - the need to look for innovative ways to encourage the long term delivery of BDS.

· Tailoring is essential through focus on clients' needs.

· Participatory approaches to the design and implementation of BDS.

· Maximising outreach is essential and provides need to develop imaginative ways of achieving this.

· Building on demonstrated initiative - where possible build on what is already there rather than impose from outside.

· Split and focus delivery - i.e. stick to the knitting' and avoid trying to deliver a range of different services and products.

· Systematic approaches and programme integration. Focus in a project does not deny the need for strategic awareness and effective networking between providers.

· Renewed focus on cost analysis.

· Continued importance of impact assessment and evaluation.

· Subsiduarity - complement the role and activities of others including the state.

About the Author


International Labour Organization
(Visit International's Website)
As the world's only tripartite multilateral agency, the ILO is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of both poor and rich countries. It helps to attain those goals by promoting rights at work, encouraging opportunities for decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening dialogue on work-related issues. The ILO is the international meeting place for the world of work. We are the experts on work and employment and particularly on the critical role that these issues play in bringing about economic development and progress. At the heart of our mission is helping countries build the institutions that are the bulwarks of democracy and to help them become accountable to the people. The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights: freedom of association, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment and other standards addressing conditions across the entire spectrum of work-related issues.
