focussed region- and individual-specific approach. A bottoms-up
approach in choosing a business venture, starting with the mapping
of the individual profile to the business opportunities and
industry/sector, and ultimately linking this to the regional

doing business, including easy access to credit facilities such as
collateral-free loans from banks, FIs and MFIs.

co-ordination to enable simpler, faster, transparent and
