This collaboration supports the sector and builds a solid foundation for an innovative and sustainable business environment, ensuring the growth and prosperity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)."
Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Adviser and Project Manager of the Knowledge Project at UNDP, remarked, "We are thrilled to be part of this partnership, which is expected to significantly impact the human capabilities within EBRD communities. This training program will equip participants with essential future skills, enabling them to transform their creative ideas into tangible initiatives that contribute to their communities' development and achieve their personal and professional goals."
