Business Development Service Center Interaction Program
In order to address the need for a one-stop comprehensive business development service provider based on a quick needs assessment conducted with Member Organizations, producer groups and other related enterprises, FTG Nepal and Oxfam supported “Sustainable Livelihoods Support for the Earthquake Affected Families in Nepal”. This project established a Business Development Service Centre that will cater to the business development needs of Micro, Small, and Medium Scale enterprises (MSMEs), and its member organisations. The project also aids in redefining business paths for the producer groups associated with fair trade.
In the process of establishing the Business Development Service (BDS) Center, an Interaction Program was held on September 9th, 2018 at Ageno: The Hestia Restaurant, Dhobighat. The interaction program was held with the objective to better understand the Business Development Service’s needs in today’s context, and to discuss the FTG Nepal BDS Center modality and sustainability aspect of such centers in changing context of Nepal. This interaction program provided an ideal environment in which stakeholders could share their recommendations and ideas, in order to formalise the Business Development Services Centre along with its sustainability aspect.
