INTRODUCTION OF SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA) was established in
1998, with the objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch
of an aggressive SME development strategy.
SMEDA initially focused on nine priority sectors with the intention of developing sector
strategies and proposing regulatory reforms to stimulate growth on the sole criterion of
SME presence. In depth research was conducted and comprehensive plans were
formulated after identification of impediments and retardants. These strategies as
proposed by SMEDA comprehensively covered all important areas of business
operation such as regulatory environment, finance, marketing, technology and human
resource development. Resultantly, SMEDA successfully formulated strategies for
sectors, including fruits and vegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewellery,
marine fisheries, leather and footwear, textiles, surgical instruments, transport and
dairy.
The task of SME development at a broader scale still required more coverage and
enhanced reach in terms of SMEDA’s areas of operation. Therefore, after successfully
qualifying in the first phase of sector development SMEDA reorganised its operations
in January 2001. Currently, SMEDA along with the sectoral focus offers a range of
services to the SMEs including over the counter support systems, exclusive business
development facilities, training and development for SMEs and information
dissemination through wide range of publications. SMEDA’s activities can now be
classified into following three broad areas:
1. Creating a Conducive Environment; includes collaboration with policy makers to
devise facilitating mechanisms for SMEs by removing regulatory impediments across
numerous policy areas
2. Cluster/Sector Development; comprises formulation and implementation of projects
for SME clusters/sectors in collaboration with industry/trade associations and
chambers
3. Enhancing Access to Business Development Services (BDS); take into account
development and provision of services to meet the business management, strategic
and operational requirements of SMEs
The aforementioned reorganisation of SMEDA is driven by enhanced interaction with
the stakeholders and suggests that SMEDA’s is a true learning organization and
always ready to take lead in the SME development arena.
Role of Policy Planning and Strategy Department
Policy planning and Strategy (PP&S) department of Smeda is the hub of policy and
regulatory research that feeds national, provincial and local government institutions,
SME associations, industrial clusters and individual entrepreneurs with an ultimate
objective of creating a conducive business environment. It has a mandate to identify
and where suitable initiate strategic projects. Library and Information resource center
of SMEDA is an integral part of PP&S while development of Regulatory Procedures is a
part of an overall information dissemination function of the department.

rates, lease rentals and other differences as stated in the Income Tax Ordinance 2001,
