The Programme for Strengthening and Creating of Financial Services for Micro and Small Enterprises in the Peri-Urban Sector (PROMMI) is oriented at strengthening Small Scale Enterprises in various sectors, and for that purpose focused on providing both financial and Business Development Services. To achieve this goal PROMMI provides credit lines to MFIs. Parallel to that it plays an important role in the development of the Business Development Services market by selecting and upgrading BDS suppliers and by providing these with professional training material and advisory services.

To improve the quality of the services provided by national BDS suppliers PROMMI has developed a training programme covering subjects such as project formulation (logical framework analysis), training needs assessments, formulation of marketing strategies and skills development for SME advisers. PROMMI provided financial services that reached over 11.000 enterprises. Additionally, Business Development Services were provided to more than 3000 entrepreneurs.
