comments:

Its too ambitious to recommend ILO implement this recommendation on its own. The ILO recognized the significance of the recommendation for a single entity. The limited resources and the scope of the project limit ILO's ability to implement the recommendation 

action_plan:

In future interventions, the ILO will lobby the Small Enterprise Division to take the lead in developing a single database.

title:

1. Promote the development of one single comprehensive Online Database of MSEs possibly maintained by the Small Enterprise Development Division (SED) of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. It is assumed by SED officials that approximately 40% of the micro enterprises and 75% of the small enterprises are registered with different government ministries, however, these organisations maintain unique data sets which are not communicated among them and are thus not coordinated. In order to address the needs of both categories, it is essential to register all the enterprises under one entity and allow access to this database to all government departments/entities according to their requirement. A condition for this is that the registration process for MSEs should be simplified, preferably through mobile data collection, in order to encourage all the MSEs to register themselves; in order to lower the threshold for MSEs to register, it could be effective to have different levels or layers of registration, with increasing amounts of details and documents to be submitted which could be incremental in time.
