KUALA LUMPUR, All state governments, ministries and agencies involved in entrepreneurship initiatives and the development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) must report the achievements of their related programmes, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Ahmad Zahid, who also serves as Rural and Regional Development Minister, said these reports should be submitted to the SME Integrated Plan of Action (SMEIPA). He noted that there are currently 40 MSME entrepreneurship and development programmes, involving a total of RM32.8 billion, that have yet to report on their achievements. 'This reporting should include assessments of key performance indicators (KPIs), covering output, outcomes and resource allocation. 'It is crucial to minimise programme duplication among agencies and reduce government resource wastage,' said Ahmad Zahid, who is also chairs the National Entrepreneur and SME Development Council.
