To highlight the enormous contributions made by MSMEs to the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 27 as “Micro-, Small-, and Medium-sized Enterprises Day” (A/RES/71/279) (SDGs). 90 percent of enterprises, 60 to 70 percent of jobs, and 50 percent of global GDP are MSMEs. As the foundation of all societies, they support livelihoods and local and national economies, particularly for the working poor, women, young people, and vulnerable groups. World Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Day is celebrated on June 27th every year. ​Founded by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness of the tremendous contributions of enterprises to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SMEs account for 90% of businesses, 60 to 70% of employment and 50% of GDP worldwide, according to the World Bank. As the backbone of societies everywhere they contribute to local and national economies sustaining livelihoods for the very poor among us. 27th June – MSME Day On April 6, 2017, the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution designating June 27 as Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME) Day. The resolution’s premise was that MSMEs play a critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in supporting innovation, creativity, and decent work for all. MSMEs and their contributions to the global economy are likely to be highlighted on MSME Day. Significance of Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises Day MSMEs have long faced challenges, from obtaining financing to running their enterprises. However, the supply chain difficulties are recent. These have an influence on every aspect of our existence. The supply chain ensures that all things, from toothpaste to food, reach us efficiently and economically. The supply chain is critical to company operations, including raw material procurement, sales, and demand forecasting. If a company’s supply chain fails, its entire existence is jeopardised. India is seeking to capitalise on potential economic possibilities, but supply chain issues have hampered short-term growth and cast doubt on long-term prospects. Every industry and sector must be willing to reinvent itself. MSME Day 2022 will focus on these essential concerns in order to avoid disruptions from delaying efforts to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth. The topic of MSME Day 2022 is “Building a Better World,” and the programming for the day demonstrates how businesses and organisations can achieve just that. MSME Day 2022, which will feature prominent government authorities, business executives, and professionals, will debate the new normal on June 27. Theme of Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises Day The United Nations has not yet announced the theme for Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises Day in 2022. The subject for this year was ‘MSME 2021: vital to an inclusive and sustainable recovery.’ This year’s MSME Day theme is a little different. The globe is in turmoil once more, but this time it is due to seismic upheavals in economic conditions rather than a pandemic. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, supply chain interruptions, inflation, skyrocketing commodity prices, and food shortages all threaten to destroy the world’s fragile recovery. According to one International Rice Research Institute assessment, there would be 36 million less tonnes of rice – enough to feed 500 million people. MSMEs have long faced challenges, ranging from loan availability to ease of doing business. However, the supply chain issues are relatively recent. These have an influence on every element of our existence. The supply chain guarantees that all things reach us effectively and inexpensively, from our toothpaste to the food we consume. Everything from raw material procurement to sales and demand forecasting is dependent on the supply chain for enterprises. When a company’s supply chain fails, its basic foundation is jeopardised. MSME Day 2022 will dig into these critical factors to ensure that disruptions do not derail the goal for sustainable and equitable growth. MSME Day 2022 material demonstrates how businesses and organisations may become more resilient and contribute to a better society. On June 27, MSME Day 2022 will bring together key government officials, industry executives, and experts to discuss the way to the new normal. Significance of MSME Day with respect to India India is moving to exploit economic possibilities, but supply chain problems have hampered near-term growth and cast doubt on long-term expectations. Every industry and sector must be prepared to reinvent themselves. We are focusing on the need to “Strengthen India’s supply chain to power self-reliant MSMEs” on MSME Day 2022. Policy, technology, leadership, and skills, as well as the entire ecosystem, must build new capabilities, complement current ones, and prepare for a new future. A $1 trillion economy cannot be realised with ageing infrastructure, suboptimal operations, and a disregard for people and society. MSME Day 2022 will dive into these critical factors to ensure that disruptions do not derail the goal for sustainable and equitable growth. MSME Day 2022 material demonstrates how businesses and organisations may become more resilient and contribute to a better society. On June 27, MSME Day 2022 will bring together key government officials, industry executives, and experts to discuss the way to the new normal. MSMEs in the GAIN Strategy Seeing how important MSMEs are to reducing malnutrition and improving food systems around the world, GAIN partners with governments, the civil society, among others, to provide targeted interventions towards MSMEs to strengthen their capacity to produce and make safe nutritious foods accessible and affordable to the very poor.  GAIN has developed targeted interventions for MSMEs to strengthen their expertise, knowledge and approach to include nutritious and healthier meals to their food processing and business operations.
