The methodology for assessing the efficiency of international technical assistance programs implementation for small and medium-sized businesses

Abstract

The effectiveness of international technical assistance programs for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine is currently unknown, therefore we have developed a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of international technical assistance programs for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine on the basis of a point assessment, which made it possible to assess the level of effectiveness of the implementation of international technical assistance projects for small and medium-sized businesses to identify their impact on the development of the region. A methodology for assessing the effectiveness of international technical assistance programs for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine in the context of regional development has been developed; it is recommended for use in activities of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, and will also be useful for the scientific community. The given recommendations will make it possible to assess the effectiveness of international technical assistance programs for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine, which have not been in demand today, but they will bring to a qualitatively new level the process of determining the effectiveness of international technical assistance programs for small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine in the context of regional development.
