| Overview : BACKGROUND The Government of South Sudan is committed to the development of a robust and growing MSME sector to spearhead the revitalization of the local economy, contribute to the structural transformation of the economy that lead to creation of employment and self-employment particularly amongst women and the youth. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish and implement a robust entrepreneurship development program that provides creative interventions and adopts attitudinal and behavioral mindset change approach to the entrepreneurship development. Based on these imperatives, UNDP in South Sudan is keen to respond to these needs and is ready to contribute to the promotion of entrepreneurship development through capacity building and support to government institutions responsible for trade and development of MSMEs. Thus, the project «Livelihoods and Entrepreneurship Development in South Sudan» intends to hire a national expert who is well skilled to provide support towards the registration of small-scale entrepreneurs with relevant institutions of the government of the Republic of South Sudan. In 2016, selection interviews were conducted for 240 applicants out of which 80 were selected to attend the Entrepreneurship Training Workshop (ETW). These 80 beneficiaries were trained in two separate ETWs. As a sequel to ETWs, a Business Start-up Training Workshop for a minimum of forty (40) selected beneficiaries of ETW was conducted. The broad objective of the workshop was to equip the 40 beneficiaries of the ETW, who have business ideas or are at the start-up stage, with information and the knowledge to aid them start their own businesses and/or formalize their operations. Keeping an eye on the legal and regulatory requirements of simply being in business is a constant struggle for small business owners. One of the areas that creates the most confusion, particularly to new business owners, is the process of business registration It is on this basis that UNDP is looking for a registered advocate to take entrepreneurs through business registration process. This will involve guiding them through business registration procedures and paying registration fees on their behalf. Entrepreneurs being supported fall under two categories: Sole proprietorship and limited liability company. There are 30 sole proprietorships and 10 limited liability companies. |
