This activity seeks to achieve Results 1.2.1.1 and 1.2.1.2. The duration of the current "MYPE Competitiva" program is October 2006 to September 2009 and the duration of the current Poverty Reduction and Alleviation (PRA) program is October 2003 to September 2008.

not benefit from trade because they operate in the informal economy largely due to lengthy and costly processes to register a business and comply with governmental regulations. Informal businesses have less access to credit and face major barriers to exporting directly or supplying products to exporters because their products do not meet international trade standards. To provide opportunities for these enterprises to participate in globally competitive value chains, the Parties MORDAZA work to improve the enabling environment for globally competitive MSEs and strengthen MSE capacity to take full advantage of free trade and investment opportunities.
