Uniting MSME Federations Worldwide

We champion MSMEs by building collective influence, amplifying voices, engaging key stakeholders, and shaping policies that create an enabling business environment

Establish national and regional chapters with seats allocated to represent their interests on World Alliance. The Council has influence over strategy and policy positions

Engage Government Ministers, Legislators, Regulators and Government agencies to advocate for Reforms and Policy strengthening that support national MSMEs

Seek consultation rights with international organisations, governments and policy bodies so MSME voices are involved when decisions affecting them are made

Publish Editorials, Opinion pieces, Policy commentary and Research in leading national and international media to ensure MSME issues receive sustained attention

Provide practical support with Mentoring to assist MSMEs access Finance, Markets, Skills, Technology, Information, Partnerships and Tools to start and operate

Give Federations a mechanism for coordinating support when their MSMEs face major challenges; economic shocks, supply-chain disruption, disasters or regulatory changes

Connect member federations and their businesses across countries, creating opportunities for exports, sourcing, distribution, joint ventures, investment and participation in global supply chains
