Business Development Services
Critical to the survival and growth of small and medium sized
enterprises (SMEs), business development services (BDS) are
those non-financial services that enable a company to receive
support while focusing on their core business. These services
can be broadly divided into the following five categories:
 | | Infrastructure
|
| | Market Access
|
| | Input Supply
|
| | Product Development
|
| | Training |

GBD services has assisted governments and international donors
develop appropriate demand driven programmes in support of
small and medium enterprises. Drawing upon international best
practises related to private sector and market development, GBD
has successfully designed and reviewed BDS interventions.
