| Summary: | The principal objective of the project
was to help foster the development of private sector
enterprises, so that they could lead the growth of
Mali's economy. The project aimed at putting in place
mechanisms and measures to support the government's
strategy of breaking from past reliance on the public
sector. The project proposed to achieve this by: (a)
completing implementation of improvements to the regulatory
environment that had been introduced starting in the late
eighties; (b) assisting a private business support
structure, APEP, the Agence pour la Promotion de
l'Entreprise Privee, to coordinate a program of
institutional support to private non-financial enterprises;
(c) improving the functioning of economic chambers
(principally the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Mali),
the Government's office charged with public enterprise
reform, BEP, and departments of the administration
responsible of administering regulations affecting private
enterprises; and (d) inducing the strengthening of the
banking sector and the preparation of a coherent financial
sector strategy. |
