SMEs in the Forest Sector: Approaches to Promoting SMEs’ Competitiveness
The webinar series lays out key sectoral knowledge and expertise that can contribute to a joint effort to enable SMEs in the forest sector to be competitive and grow in a sustainable manner.
This session will examine a set of interventions that had enhancement of competitiveness and sustainability of rural or agricultural enterprises as the entry point and are relevant for SMEs in the forest sector (SMFEs). Presenters will deconstruct projects in order to explain the various components of each intervention as well as to encourage participants to think about how to adapt each approach to their specific projects. In addition, presenters will provide insights on the effectiveness and social/environmental value of the various approaches used in their interventions that look to address constraints to competitiveness; they will also discuss what else could have been done to adopt a more integrated approach.
