- comments:
- SCORE global and national managers.
Implementation partners.
- challenges:
- - ILO has little influence over the competitive landscape.
- Barriers were either not identified or given sufficient weight during design and implementation stages.
- Government policy-makers did not always deliver on what they promised.
- success:
- - The mixed-funding model for SCORE Training enables its sustainable delivery (although it is not feasible in every country).
- SCORE has acquired a great deal of knowledge about how to build enterprise-level training.
.
- context:
- The competitive landscape for SCORE Training varies between countries, and affects the uptake of offerings. In countries such as Ghana and Colombia, features of the competitive landscape such as the availability of free training for SMEs has had a significant effect on uptake.
- description:
- The SME target group is often unable to afford or do not see the benefit of SCORE Training unless there is financial support and, in some cases, even with financial support. Some SCORE national programmes and their implementation partners have been able to leverage such support, and there can be funding or other resources available because of the importance attached to SMEs by government. The lesson here is that market conditions that affect SCORE’s sustainability need to be (and can be) understood early on and taken into account in programme and product design.
- administrative_issues:
- Global and national managers need to identify where there is interest in this kind of development, and identify who the right parties are to engage with.
