DILIMAN, Quezon City — The University of the Philippines Institute for Small-Scale Industries (UP ISSI) launched the Gain Advancement through Business Advisory and Support Service (GABAy) Program on July 2022 to address the issues that many micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) experienced during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative was designed to assist and guide MSMEs in developing pivotal strategies to effectively adjust from the impacts of the pandemic and to adapt to the new normal.

 

“GABAy is UP ISSI’s flagship advocacy program that aims to accelerate the growth and sustainability of MSMEs by providing online mentoring and online marketing support. It offers a comprehensive range of services to support MSMEs, including enterprise counseling (online and face-to-face) and online marketing support, for enhanced productivity and efficiency. Under this program, entrepreneurs can receive personalized advice to diagnose and resolve their operational issues. The program also assists MSMEs in the development of marketing collaterals and articles, business planning and networking.”

 

Besides MSMEs, the initiative also caters to government and non-government organizations engaged in enterprise development.
