The participant selection process was based on a scoring system. According to Urmat Takirov, Director of the Kyrgyz Export Center for Export Development and Promotion under the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic, applicants had to meet strict criteria: having export experience, including participation in B2B meetings and exhibitions, as well as conducting exclusively "white" (official) trade.
Training results and reasons for dropout
Despite the initial list of selected enterprises, not all companies were able to complete the educational cycle. Some participants left the program early.
As Urmat Takirov reported, four companies were unable to complete the training due to a lack of necessary human resources. The participation of a manager in the training process is a mandatory requirement, and in their absence, the educational process for the enterprise is halted.
Context
