The manual outlines the principles, methods, and procedures that must be adhered to for the Rural SMEs Development Project (RSMEDP) to engage in grants-based contractual obligations with partners. 

Partners can be drawn from a range of groups, including national agencies, sector and business associations, Business Support Services (BSS) consultancies, and financial services providers. 

The purpose of the grants is to catalyse independent actions from partners that have the potential to benefit rural SMEs and rural communities beyond the duration of the funding.
