Project description
The SME Toolkit is a tool designed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, with the aim of using the latest information and communication technologies to help small and medium enterprises in emerging markets learn sustainable business management practices.
Small businesses are the growth engines of the world’s economies; however, their success rate is not as good as it could be simply because of a lack of access to good business management practices. The SME Toolkit is providing small businesses the information and new collaborative technologies they will need to help them grow and prosper.
