Plexus was retained to work for
USAID on the PRESTO Project, which was developed
to strengthen small business associations, foster
the professional development and sharpen the
management skills of business association leaders
to help build the long-lasting institutions
Uganda's economy needs. Plexus staff designed
and conducted a Business Association Workshop
in Uganda for executives of the five primary
business associations. Plexus staff also co-hosted
a two-week study tour and designed and conducted
a five-day, interactive association workshop-training
course in Washington for several key business
association leaders in the Ugandan manufacturing
and small business communities. As a result,
working coalitions were forged among several
of the associations to benefit their leaders
and members as they begin to implement their
new skills in Uganda.
