Mobile Solutions Technical Assistance and Research (mSTAR) project
The FHI 360 Mobile Solutions Technical Assistance and Research (mSTAR) project is a broad, flexible and responsive technical assistance and research program that is fostering the rapid adoption and scale-up of digital finance, digital inclusion and mobile data in developing countries. Ultimately, mSTAR seeks to increase access to and use of mobile and digital technologies by low-income individuals, civil society, local government institutions and private-sector stakeholders.
Improve the capacity of businesses, including the self-employed poor; micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs); and high growth potential entrepreneurs, to start or grow and integrate into domestic and international markets through increases in productivity and improvements in corporate governance and the development and application of modern technology and marketing practices. Enhance the capacity of businesses and business associations in terms of their corporate governance capabilities and their application of best practices and technologies to achieve increased production and marketing of products and services. It includes adoption of efficient production processes, improved labor productivity, environmentally-sound management of natural resources and the development of accounting and management systems that can help the company and industry group implement business, labor, product and process standards that enhance business competitiveness. Business capacity development programs may include activities that help men- and women-owned firms and associations respond to these international markets and create regional alliances. Create and sustain career-enhancing education and training programs that are responsive to the current and future labor needs of local, regional, and international employers, both formal and nonformal, including through financial sustainability. Generally, these programs certify competence of male and female learners in accordance with industry standards and provide labor market and social support services. In contexts where the private sector is weak, technical/vocational training may be oriented towards self-employment.
