The document summarizes lessons learned from an experience sharing activity on technical assistance providers (TAPs) in Peru. Key points include: strengthening partnerships to guarantee quality and access to new technologies; ensuring community TAP models offer long-term guarantees; adding leadership training to TAP curricula; and maintaining TAP independence from political cycles and private sector influence while exploring business opportunities. Success rates for TAP enterprises were noted to be lower than for community TAPs. The role of TAPs in promoting gender equality was also highlighted.
