Government recognizes and promotes the special role of SEs. Sector-specific policies promote not only the private sector but also specifically SE participation in service delivery. These policies are well-implemented.

SEs benefit from legal incentives, such as tax waivers, GST waived for key purchases in service delivery, and preferential public procurement for SEs.
