Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME)

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) are an important channel for providing intra-SAARC

trade, inclusive and sustainable regional development of South Asia thereby facilitating regional

integration.

SDF proposes to lunch its MSME program, shortly, in order to upgrade Micro Small Medium

Enterprises in the SAARC region.

SDF proposes to co-finance projects that facilitate infrastructure creation, research and

development, product development, technology up gradation among others. Such a measure

is likely to create access to financial services which can in-turn boost job creation, raise income,

reduce vulnerability and increase investment in human capital in SAARC Member State.
