ACT/EMP seeks to foster well-functioning EBMOs, which are important actors in shaping an environment conducive to competitive and sustainable enterprises, good governance, political and social stability, democracy and socio-economic development. ACT/EMP assists EBMOs in building strong, independent and representative organizations that respond to their members´ needs and challenges though its technical cooperation programme, which provides assistance to EBMOs in developing and transition countries.
