- ILO, governments and other development partners
- challenges:
- Many entrepreneurs do not fully acknowledge the benefits of the professional and systematic maintenance of enterprise-level data (even after training), which leads to estimated calculations regarding their costs and profits and other KPIs. This may also lead to discrepancies in the results being reported by the project related to enterprise level results.
- success:
- Some of the enterprises reported maintaining the accounts and other data points regarding their enterprise’s performance in a systematic manner which helps in accurate calculation of results.
- context:
- This lesson is relevant to ILO and other key stakeholders working for enterprise development.
- description:
- Many entrepreneurs and MSMEs do not systematically document enterprise-level data, which may lead to discrepancies in the results being reported.The project trained new and existing enterprises in SIYB with the objective of formalising them to generate decent jobs and implemented SCORE modules in 17 MSMEs to promote responsible management practices. Many of the trained entrepreneurs did not maintain documentation of the enterprise level data related to their income and expenditure including salaries/wages paid, workers hired. Also, many of the SCORE MSMEs did not systematically document the information related to KPIs using EIC.
- administrative_issues:
- ILO project design teams may consider the provision of the mentoring component to orient and guide the entrepreneurs in the documentation of their enterprises’ performance. In case of SCORE, the trainers can focus on building trust with the enterprises and provide close support to build the capacity for systematic documentation.
