A Workshop to Promote Evidence-based Policy Making in the Small and Medium Enterprise Sector in Egypt, 27th Feb - 1st March 2005, Cairo

The CIDA/IDRC/GOE Small and Medium Enterprise Policies (SMEPOL) Project aims to support Egypt's transition towards a market economy, by assisting the Government of Egypt (GoE) to improve the policy environment for micro, small and medium enterprises (M/SME) development. It is doing this by supporting the Ministry of Finance (MOF) and Ministry of Foreign Trade (MOFT) in the development of policies, legislation and regulations supporting M/SME development. The project commissioned ODI's Research and Policy in Development Programme to run a workshop to expose project stakeholders to current theory and practice of evidence-based policy making.
