Business centres for small enterprise development: experiences and lessons from Eastern Europe

Mertens. Sievers, Klaus. Haftendorn and Astrid. Bessler

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Evaluates market-oriented Business Centres that were set up with the technical assistance of the ILO and compares them with those set up by other agencies. Shows that if business centres develop accessible products, tailored to the specific needs of micro entrepreneurs, financial sustainability is achievable. Covers the 1990s.
