Welcome to USAID Business Environment Enabling Program
Maximizing economic growth and prosperity requires individual entrepreneurship operating in a clear, minimally-intrusive legal framework. Working in concert with the government, private sector and donor partners, the Business Enabling Environment Program promotes free market reforms to remove barriers to business creation and operation, freeing the individual from unnecessary government restraints on economic activity.
Unleashing Individual Economic Potential through Business Environment Improvements
Objectives for Kosovo
- Component 1 - Improved Rules and Regulations: Simplifying and streamlining the regulatory framework applied to business to provide a stable, clear, minimally-intrusive legal operating environment for business, implementing sound government procurement practices to increase business accessibility and tender efficiency
- Component 2 - Reduced Barriers to Trade: Reducing trade barriers through improved trade policies, access to information, and capacity building
- Component 3 - Reduced Risks of Lending in the Financial Sector: Increasing the amount and quality of information available in the credit registry to improve lending decisions and reduce credit risk and borrowing costs.
