Ce projet vise à renforcer les capacités et à améliorer les pratiques de gestion des affaires des microentreprises et des petites et moyennes entreprises (M/PME) détenues et gérées par des femmes, des jeunes et d’autres futurs entrepreneurs en Indonésie, en Malaisie, en Papouasie–Nouvelle-Guinée, aux Philippines, au Vietnam et en Thaïlande pour qu’elles puissent se développer sur les marchés régionaux et mondiaux tout en favorisant une croissance économique durable. Le projet comprend deux volets principaux : Promotion des politiques; et Recherche, formation et mentorat. Il reproduit le volet Recherche, formation et mentorat de la première phase du projet en Malaisie et en Thaïlande, et le volet Recherche et formation en Papouasie–Nouvelle-Guinée. Le projet met en place de nouveaux partenariats locaux dans ces trois pays en développement grâce à leur réseau de la Coopération économique de la zone Asie-Pacifique (APEC), qui assure la participation et la collaboration. Dans le cadre du volet Recherche, formation et mentorat, les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) amplifier la capacité d’entrepreneuriat numérique (en raison de la pandémie mondiale); 2) assurer une croissance inclusive des M/PME axée sur un accès égal à la technologie et aux infrastructures; 3) accroître le soutien à la compétitivité des M/PME et à leur capacité d’accéder aux marchés mondiaux; 4) promouvoir l’innovation et l’aide aux microentreprises et aux entreprises en démarrage; 5) promouvoir le renforcement des capacités des M/PME dans les secteurs informels. Ces thèmes de recherche sont conformes à d’importantes visions et cadres stratégiques régionaux pour les M/PME, notamment le Plan stratégique pour 2021-2024 du Groupe de travail sur les petites et moyennes entreprises de l’APEC et la Vision de Putrajaya pour 2040. Dans le cadre du volet Promotion des politiques, les activités de ce projet comprennent : 1) encourager l’utilisation des technologies et de l’innovation; 2) réduire les obstacles à l’accès aux marchés; 3) renforcer le capital humain; 4) créer des entreprises favorisant la participation des femmes; 5) investir dans l’entrepreneuriat social. Le projet vise à poursuivre les travaux réalisés et à renforcer les partenariats établis dans la première phase avec des acteurs politiques comme des législateurs nationaux et locaux, des organisations d’aide aux entreprises et des M/PME en Indonésie, aux Philippines et au Vietnam. Il poursuit les efforts déployés pour promouvoir l’ensemble de recommandations stratégiques thématiques qui a résulté de la recherche et des études menées au cours de la première phase.
This project aims to strengthen capacities and improve business management practices of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) owned and managed by women, youth and other aspiring entrepreneurs in Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand to expand into global and regional markets and foster sustainable economic growth. The project consists of two main components: Policy Advocacy and Research, and Training and Mentoring. The project replicates the Research, Training and Mentoring component of the first phase in Malaysia and Thailand, and Research and Training in Papua New Guinea. The project establishes new local partnerships in these three developing economies through their Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) network ensuring buy-in and collaboration. Under the Research, Training and Mentoring components, project activities include: (1) scaling up the capacity for digital entrepreneurship due to the global pandemic; (2) assuring inclusive MSME growth focused on equal access to technology and infrastructure; (3) increasing support for MSME competitiveness and ability to access international markets; (4) promoting innovation and support for micro-enterprises and start-ups; and (5) promoting capacity building for MSMEs in informal sectors. These research themes align with important regional MSME policy visions and frameworks, particularly the APEC Small and Medium Enterprises Working Group (SMEWG) Strategic Plan for 2021-2024 and the Putrajaya Vision 2040. For the Policy Advocacy component, project activities include: (1) encouraging the use of technology and innovation; (2) reducing barriers to market access; (3) strengthening human capital; (4) building gender-inclusive businesses; and (5) investing in social entrepreneurship. The project continues to work and strengthen partnerships established in phase 1 with policy actors such as national legislators, local legislators, business support organizations and MSMEs in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. It is pursuing advocacy efforts for the suite of thematic policy recommendations that resulted from the research and studies in phase 1.
