Technical Assistance and Capacity Building of BDS Providers Sample Clauses

Technical Assistance and Capacity Building of BDS Providers. International experience indicates that the viability and profitability of agribusiness enterprises depends on the speed at which each enterprise is able to build within itself the different skills, know-how, expertise, and understanding of the dynamics of markets in the face of a fast-changing economic environment. An effective method for building these capacities within the agribusiness enterprise is through the utilization of demand-driven external Business Development Services (BDS). BDS are a wide range of services used by enterprises to help them operate and improve the performance of the enterprise, access to markets, and their ability to compete. BDS include training, consultancy and advisory services (non-recurring financial, legal, managerial etc), marketing assistance (brand development, sales strategies, marketing plans etc), technology development and transfer, and business linkage promotion. While access to effective BDS has proven in many countries to act as a catalyst to enhance enterprise productivity and profitability; in Pakistan, technical, managerial, marketing, financial and legal advisory services are limited and, in the context of agribusiness, almost non-existent. To promote agribusinesses in the area of processing, marketing, value addition and export, BDS can play a pivotal role. ASF will provide capacity building support to BDS providers in developing and upgrading the type of service they are able to offer to agribusiness clients, and will also support agribusiness enterprises to access such services. The interventions are on both supply and demand side to correct market failures. During the first year of program, a total of 20 BDS providers will be provided capacity building support which will result into establishment of improved capacities of BDS providers to serve agribusiness sector; establishment of business incubation centers; agribusiness cells etc. The BDSPs will take on the roles of service providers which are currently provided by agencies on subsidized terms thereby distorting markets.
