The "EU4Business - Supporting SME Competitiveness Reforms" project aims at assisting the Eastern Partnership countries in the implementation of policy reforms based on policy recommendations from the OECD’s Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) Policy Index, contributing to improved government responsiveness to SME needs and requests, as well as to improved public-private dialogue at national level.

The project supports a comprehensive set of activities carried out on country as well as regional levels. Country-level activities are provided in those countries that have expressed high‑level political commitment in implementing SME policy reforms and those that have agreed to a peer review examination of these reforms. Activities at regional level involve all Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries.
