| Summary: | IFC aims to strengthen the overall
business environment by providing local markets with
management training programs aimed at small businesses, such
as Business Edge. IFC signs cooperation agreements with
local business development service providers to deliver this
interactive learning program. The hoped-for result is that
the beneficiaries of training will run more efficient
businesses and the overall economy will improve. This
Smartlesson shares the lessons learned while revamping the
Business Edge program in Ghana. The overhaul was achieved by
clearing up training providers' misinterpretations
about the program and empowering them to deliver it,
defining a clear strategy for the program, shedding all but
the top performing local providers, giving providers chances
to network with potential clients, lining up some business
for the providers, and exerting strong quality control over
the program. |
