The IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, has signed a co-operation agreement with Sanasa Development Bank (SDB), to bring a world class training system – Business Edge - to clients of the bank. Up to 200 micro entrepreneurs will be trained under the pilot program, with plans to later expand the training course to reach a larger number of micro entrepreneurs.
The training will aim to improve business performance and competitiveness through the strengthening of management skills, IFC said.
Business Edge is based on an international syllabus, and is then adapted to fit the local context of Sri Lanka. The agreement was signed between Rachel F Robbins - Vice President and General Counsel for IFC, and Dr. P.A. Kiriwandeniya - Chairman of SDB.
