This draft East African standard provides guidelines for delivering Business Development Services (BDS).
The guideline can be used by solo practitioners and organisations, working in an urban or rural setting,
at a parish, district, or regional level to:
a) Improve their processes for service delivery;
b) Align interventions to the context of the BDS client, their development life cycle, position
in the value chain and the vertical level at which the MSME is operating.
c) Enable consistent delivery of BDS.
d) Diagnose their problems at the various stages of development.
This draft East African standard does not cover specific technical areas e.g.: accounting. Instead, it
covers the general approach to delivering BDS intended for overall business improvement.
