Improve Your Business (IYB) is an integral part of the ILO’s Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) package, which is part of the International Small Enterprise Programme (ISEP). ISEP strives to assist member countries of the ILO in their efforts to meet the global employment challenge by creating sustainable quality jobs in the small-scale private enterprise sector.
At a time when the employment capacities of the agricultural, public and large-scale enterprise sectors have reached their limit in many countries, it is clear that most future jobs will need to be created in the small-scale enterprise sector. The SIYB programme has been designed to provide a sustainable and cost-effective method to reach substantial numbers of small-scale entrepreneurs and provide them with the practical management skills needed in a competitive environment for profitability and growth.
SIYB is a system of interrelated training packages and support materials for small-scale entrepreneurs with limited previous exposure to management training. The programme provides individuals and institutions with a comprehensive set of materials, aimed at a variety of target groups. It deals with various topics related to small-enterprise development, such as training, business counselling, monitoring and evaluation and networking. Small-enterprise development institutions in more than 70 countries worldwide have used the SIYB programme.
More information about how the ILO can assist with the adaptation and implementation of the SIYB training programme can be obtained from any local ILO office or from:
