action_plan:

The project acknowledges that MSME strengthening requires sustained engagement beyond standalone training sessions. PAVE has already initiated mentoring and follow-up support with SEDD and future interventions under the GROW project will place greater emphasis on structured and sustained follow-up, practical advisory services, and digital communication platforms for business continuity, peer learning, and market access. Future interventions under GROW will strengthen MSME support through structured mentoring, continuous follow-up, practical advisory services, and the use of digital platforms to improve business continuity, peer learning, and market access.

title:

Recommendation 7 (Medium Priority): Strengthen MSME Support through Continuous Backstopping and Digital Applications MSME training should be redesigned as a continuous support process, incorporating structured mentoring, follow-up, and interactive backstopping with necessary logistics in place. Digital platforms for communication, coordination, and information sharing should be progressively promoted, drawing on successful digital practices observed in value chain interventions.
