Needs and Objectives The project intends to contribute towards enhancing MSMEs crisis and disaster resilience through the development of a set of high-level guidelines that will provide recommendations of appropriate and timely measures to minimise the impact of future disasters and crises on MSMEs. This set of guidelines will serve as reference for ASEAN policy makers in putting in place measures to promote MSME resilience during and after a crisis. It is crucial moving forward that the MSME policymakers and MSMEs have the necessary skills and awareness to adequately prepare for such catastrophic events. At the same time, it will advocate for the institutionalisation of safety nets to support MSMEs to cope and recover from these shocks as well as strengthening MSME value chain and smarter supply networks. In the longer term, the use of the Guidelines by the relevant stakeholders is expected to bring about change in policies, institutions and process, towards creating an environment that is supportive of MSME crisis recovery and resilience.
