Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development in Rural Areas (PYMERURAL)
Inclusive value chain development became a public policy priority in both Nicaragua and Honduras. PYMERURAL has been supporting institutions at national and local level to achieve greater competitiveness of micro, small and medium enterprises through local economic and value chain development (increased access to market opportunities, to services, improved regulatory and governance conditions). This short exit phase aims to further consolidate and scale up achievements.
