Fiscal consolidation measures, like reduced public spending on construction and declined spending under the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) also affect the poor.⁷ The Action's support in this respect is indirect. The need for qualified workforce for the green transition and improvement in overall business figures of the SMEs supported may contribute to improve the income situation of workers in the targeted industries, while positive effects on working conditions can be expected from improvements in occupational health and safety and compliance with international requirements on environment and labour-rights. Contributions to reduction of inequalities are thus intended but due to the design of the Action rather indirect. Strengthening of competitiveness of SMEs can have a positive impact on employment, the support of women (G1-marker) shall strengthen women entrepreneurs and employment.
