The project has three components: (1) Enterprise Development; (2) Access to Finance; and (3) Project Management and Coordination. The first component will support rural entrepreneurship through business incubation and business advisory services; and provide technical assistance to strengthen backward and forward linkages in supply chains to facilitate greater market access. The second component will provide financial and technical support for micro, small and medium enterprises in high potential sectors (agriculture, food processing, handicraft, rural services, tourism, and small manufacturing sectors) through a credit line and partial credit guarantee fund. The project will contribute to Uzbekistan’s reform agenda and the Government’s larger goal of building greater economic and job opportunities and facilitating private sector-led economic growth. 12/22/2020 Page 1 of 9 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Ferghana Valley Rural Enterprise Development Project (P166305) The project was declared effective in July 2019 and is currently under active implementation.
