Background Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) The ILO s Start and Improve Your Business SIYB comprising four modules (GYB, SYB, IYB and EYB) is by far the largest global management training system focusing on starting and improving micro/small enterprises as a strategy for creating decent work in developing economies. Developed in the 1980 s by ILO, it has been introduced in more than 100 countries through a network of 2,500 partner institutions having 237 master trainers and 17,540 trainers (40% women trainers). Its current outreach stands at 4.5 million trainees (50% women entrepreneurs) and generated an estimated 2.7 million new jobs, making it one of the biggest programmes of its kind. National level roll-outs have been administered in 16 countries, all of whom are showing substantive indicators of success. SIYB s strength lies in its low cost, modular, practical and highly

2 adaptive learning system. Other than UN agencies (UNDP, UNICEF, OSCE), SIYB has also been used by various multi-lateral and non-profit international agencies as major enterprise training tool. SIYB primarily achieves its objectives by targeting business development service providers.

The specific objectives of the KAB package are to: Create awareness about entrepreneurial competencies; enterprise creation and selfemployment as a career option for trainees in vocational and technical training institutions Develop positive attitudes towards the role of enterprises in the society and selfemployment Provide knowledge and practice of the required attributes and challenges for starting and operating a successful enterprise, particularly a small business Prepare trainees to work productively in small and medium-sized enterprises and more generally for an environment in which formal, full-time wage employment may be scarce or unavailable.
