Developing commercial markets for Business Development Services - highlights of the Turin seminar, September 2001
A series of conferences on Business Development Services (BDS) led to the publication of Guiding principles by the Committee of Donor Agencies for SED; this document put forward the idea that many BDS arealready provided to small enterprises by the private sector, and proposed a framework within which this provision could be stimulated or enhanced.
