SOME KEY PARAMETERS
• OBJECTIVES: shift from employment creation to value-added
• DELIVERY AGENCIES: mainly existing specialist state agencies
• ELIGIBILITY: generally manufacturing and internationally traded firms (i.e. exports
or export potential)
• FORMS OF FINANCE: mostly non-repayable grants, some equity (preference
shares)
• DEADWEIGHT: part of consciousness of selection committees
• APPROVAL CRITERIA: Programme Complements
• PROJECT GENERATION/SELECTION: agency development staff help applicants,
separate committees approve
• MONITORING: project level – grants payable for agreed milestones
programme level – inputs, outputs, results, impact ideally
