LEEPING ahead : Unleashing the Growth Potential of Lebanese MSMEs through Demand-Led Business Environment Reforms
L'événement est terminé.
This lively panel discussion will explore the challenges facing MSMEs in Lebanon – both preexisting and post-crisis – and what policy reforms could be made to address them. The LEEP team will give a short presentation of findings from their work with MSMEs (in-depth discussions with MSMEs from different sectors supported by a quantitative survey) followed by a discussion of these findings with the audience and a panel drawn from Meref members, LEEP grantees, donors and policy experts.
The outcomes of the discussion will be incorporated into LEEP’s Policy Advocacy Report and contribute towards their reform lobbying efforts.
