⇒MDG 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development

Simplifying Business

Project implemented by Syrian government agencies

Damascus, Syria,

November 2010
Co-financed by the European Commission as part of support to Syrian government

The purpose of the BESP (Business Environment Simplification Programme) programme is to contribute to the Syrian economic reform programme through the improvement and simplification of the business environment in the country. The project supports the establishment and implementation of a range of actions in the areas of market competition, policies, registration procedures for new businesses, revisions in business legislations that will remove bottlenecks, reduce unnecessary red-tapism and promote transparent and fair practices for the Syrian business community.

Through the project, it is expected that the Syrian institutional capacity is built for implementing and coordinating reform and that this contributes to an enhanced regulatory environment.

Additional Information Expected BESP programme Results:
