Business membership organizations (BMOs) keep proving themselves as a cornerstone of sustainable development in the micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) sector in Ukraine. Entrepreneurs can find business partners, receive support amid various challenges, gain important knowledge on the business processes, and even contribute to creating a regulatory environment.  

As the role of BMOs keeps increasing in the modern business landscape, UNDP is continuing to support the growth of these associations within the second phase of the “Strengthening MSME Business Membership Organizations in Ukraine” project (the UNDP project), with implementation possible thanks to Switzerland’s unwavering support. The commitment and partnership of Switzerland have been instrumental in driving our mission forward.  

With our support to increase BMO capacities, enabling them by providing necessary technical skills and equipment, while boosting their initiatives by grant interventions, our partner BMOs have created collaboration platforms, participated in the creation of legislative acts, developed and implemented effective development strategies, and even started to conquer foreign markets.
