The Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP) has recently launched an entrepreneurship toolkit with helpful tips on running entrepreneurship programs. The Entrepreneurship Toolkit has been developed to help USAID Mission and U.S. Embassy officers design, implement, and monitor entrepreneurship development programs. It provides users with a wealth of information including entrepreneurship best practices, case studies, lessons learned, key questions for program design, links to development firms and USAID projects, as well as additional publications and reference materials. The toolkit is intended to be a "living" document, in that periodic revisions will be taken to ensure that information is timely and accurately reflects the ever changing entrepreneurial ecosystem.

About the Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP)
The Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP) is a U.S. Department of State-led effort to promote and spur entrepreneurship around the world. Announced by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship in April 2010, the GEP highlights the Obama Administration’s commitment to use America’s entrepreneurial culture to advance entrepreneurship in emerging markets and developing countries. The program functions as an interagency team, which includes USAID, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the Millennium Challenge Corporation, among others; and is led by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Economic Affairs/Office of Commercial and Business Affairs.
