Abstract
While a large proportion of rural micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) clusters are artisanal in nature (mostly handicraft and handloom based; to date estimated at about 6000 for the country), enterprises in these clusters continue to be plagued by no or limited access to credit, technology, and various business support services. Often manufacturing firms in rural areas are stuck with outdated methods and tools. This communiqué introduces a Systems of Innovation for Inclusive Development (SIID) research programme aimed at identifying innovation systems and appropriate innovative policy to support MSME cluster products and their diversification, and develop financial instruments for credit access.
