title:

13. Among the current countries in the SCORE phase IV project, Tunisia shows significantly better perspectives to achieve results and impact at company and sector and systems level. Tunisia has a productivity ecosystem that is favourable for SME development and additionally many SMEs in Tunisian are integrated in national and international supply, including on expert markets in the European Union that is a nearby market. These relatively favourable conditions of the country, provide specific opportunities for further learning and innovation of SCORE services that may be relevant for other countries, such as providing SCORE training for platform enterprises (with support of the GSMA) and the arrangement with the SME Financing Bank to provide finance for SCORE services to companies. Additionally provision of SCORE services to SMEs integrated in supply chains extending into the EU markets may be further aligned and focus to prepare SMEs for the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (SCDD) Directive. Experiences obtained in this area may serve as lessons for SCORE training provision related to due diligence requirements in other countries, and possibly in the framework of the new ILO project on Productivity Ecosystems that is currently being piloted with support of SECO and NORAD. Finally the experiences of SCORE in Tunisia might be useful for other French speaking countries, where thus far SCORE services are thinly spread.
