- To build the capacity of small and micro-enterprises in underserved communities through training and technical assistance programs.
- To develop market linkages for small and micro-enterprises to access new markets and increase their sales.
- To provide access to finance and other resources, such as technology and equipment, to support the growth and development of small and micro-enterprises.
- To establish community-based support systems, including mentorship and peer-to-peer learning networks, to provide ongoing support to small and micro-enterprises.
- To create an enabling policy and regulatory environment that supports the growth and development of small and micro-enterprises in underserved communities.
