Development of Business Service Markets for Micro and Small Enterprise in Zambia

During its second phase, the ILO BDS project aims to reach at least 1,000 agriculture-related MSEs and smallholder farmers with the marketing, communication and information services that they need, to result in at least 10% increase in output, 5% increase in farm household income and 10% awareness and access to HIV/AIDS-related services among those in selected sub-sectors in the Southern, Eastern and Copperbelt Provinces of Zambia. The second phase focuses on learning, documentation and dissemination of knowledge and experience on the application and use of media-related services for micro and small enterprise development. It will document and prepare papers and manuals that can promote understanding and replication of these approaches in Zambia and elsewhere.
