Private Sector development - (Location: UGANDA)

In emerging markets, the private sector consists for more than 95% out of Small but Growing Businesses (SGB’s), also referred to as Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSME’s), that operate to a large extent in the informal sector. This is one of the reasons why we know relatively little about them. Yet, MSME’s are the key players in local economic development. What factors have led to their growth and what factors have held them back? To what extent do local MSME’s adhere to ESG (economic, social and governance) standards?

To answer these questions, MSM in collaboration with Makerere University Business School (MUBS) in Uganda is offering the short executive Private Sector Development programme. Through this programme, you will explore key topics at the micro- meso- and macro-levels related to private sector development (PSD) and provide ample ground for debate and reflection.
