CO-Suva is in the process of producing an entrepreneurship ecosystem analysis for vulnerable groups, which will include also an overview of BDS providers in the countries of the Pacific region, an assessment of their capacities and competencies as well as possible gaps. In addition, we carefully selected BDS providers in the Pacific, in our efforts to support countries through Start, Improve and Expand Your Business trainings. The information obtained will be used to produce the rating matrix and roster that is recommended.

title:

Recommendation #3 (addressed to ILO Office for Pacific Island Countries): Take stock of BDS providers in each country and introduce a rating matrix based on experience and competencies. While BDS is an important intervention from ILO in MSME development, the quality of the BDS providers varies widely within and across the countries in the Pacific region. A roster of qualified entities in each country can help to speed up the engagement process. Ideally, these entities can be recruited on a non-committal retainer basis.
