Sustainable Enterprises promoted through social dialogue

This project aims at promoting enabling environment for sustainable entrepreneurship. Interventions will focus on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to foster decent and productive employment creation using the ILO’s methodology for creating an Enabling Environment for Sustainable Enterprises (EESE). Work will include support to and capacity development for constituents to identify, implement and monitor reforms of the business environment for SMEs and conditions of work for workers, and to expand the EESE approach to support enterprise formalization. Constituents will be supported in building up their capacity to lobby for and influence the development of new policies, regulatory and administrative changes to improve the enabling business environment. The project will create evidence-based information on how development oriented policies can support entrepreneurship, formalization and growth of SMEs. Synergies with donor organizations in Armenia and their programmes are facilitated through the Development Partners’ Committee. The EESE implementation in Armenia will contribute to the operationalization of SDG 8, more specifically target 8.3.
