action_plan:

The recommendation to keep the focus of SCORE Training on small and medium-sized enterprises in countries with more developed economic structures is well noted. The SCORE Programme will primarily focus on this target group and will advise other projects that this training programme is not the best tool to support micro-enterprises.

title:

1. The SCORE team and the SME unit in the ILO ENTERPRISES are recommended for both the remaining SCORE project implementation period until the end of 2024 and longer-term follow-up ILO institutional efforts in securing SCORE training and technical assistance after the end of the SCORE phase IV project, to secure and strengthen the SCORE focus on the small and medium enterprise sectors in countries with favourable productivity ecosystems environments and potential for stronger integration of SMEs in international and national supply chains. This focus is needed to ensure that SCORE training and technical assistance meets sufficient demand within the private sector and at the same time it can be linked with public, private and multi-stakeholder institutional support mechanisms to consolidate and expand business development services to the SME-sector. While the focus may expand to larger enterprises in the SME sector it should not expand to the smaller and micro-enterprises, where with more limited ILO support to SCORE service delivery at national level, leads to financial and institutional sustainability are not likely to materialise.
