Happy #WorldSMEDay !
Today, we celebrate the #MSMEs accounting for 90% of businesses, 60-70% of #employment & 50% of #GDP worldwide. Their role is key in achieving the #SDGs !
Let's consider ways to lower/remove barriers faced by #SMEs to help them reach their full potential.

This has been possible by introducing new adaptive measures run by our programs:
