In the light of the importance of poverty reduction and job creation for member countries of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), this paper considers SME development opportunities for rural areas, as well as the opportunities and constraints. It suggests ways in which rural development could be managed more effectively. In particular, it highlights the importance of integrating rural SMEs into development strategies. This paper is part of the working paper series of the Sustainable Development and Productivity Division (SDPD) at ESCWA. These papers are written by ESCWA staff members as part of the work programme and are intended to stimulate discussion on a given subject. The research presented in this issue was conducted by Mr. Fidele Byiringiro and Mr. Robert Travers within the context of the work of SDPD on the green economy, poverty alleviation and sustainable development. The research was carried out under the overall guidance and support of Ms. Roula Majdalani, Director, SDPD, with the valuable assistance of Mr. Riccardo Messiano, acting Head of Section. The research set out in the working paper series is preliminary and has not been subjected to the usual review process for ESCWA publications
