Building on ifm's previous engagement in the region, this initiative also aimed to expand scientific networks and cooperation. In collaboration with GIZ, potential research institutions and government agencies in the countries were encouraged to open up to international cooperation in order to increase the reach and impact of the initiative through diversification. The main objective was to carry out targeted research projects that are relevant to SMEs and use quantitative methods that are not yet applied in the partner countries.
