Opportunitiesfor Assistance Sample Clauses

Opportunitiesfor Assistance. There are at least 13 PVO or NGO activities related to association development or support for BSOs. This figure could be expanded slightly to include “community participation” associations and assistance to vulnerable groups among disabled, and rural farm groups. However, those that can realistically be credited with business-related assistance are perhaps six activities, plus KOSIA-SMEDA (as a quasi-contractor under Tacis) and the operations. As noted earlier, ISAR and the Eurasia Foundation are prominent for their business association activities, and ACDWOCA is focused on rural farm groups with marketing support. Agencies from other international donors tend to have specific interest groups with whom they work. This is a rather sparse effort, and there are ample opportunities for work with all of associations and business groups. Specifically, industry enterprises in high-potential sectors lack focal advocacy groups or methods of generating cohesive systems of market networks, business linkages, or services. The American Chamber of Commerce provides an excellent model on which to build local associations, even if they are not official “xxxxxxxx,” but those who would create these organizations need the business development experience and connections to experts or volunteers who would more than a social dimension to the support groups. This theme is pursued in more detail under the report’s recommendations, but the point is that association building requires a dedicated business approach, not superficial exercises and hackneyed recommendations, such as “how to write a business plan.” Genuine intervention by seasoned volunteers or professionals who can build and help sustain organizations is required.
