Business Support Report
THE PRESIDENTIAL BUSINESS SUPPORT PROGRAMME.
(THE WINDOW 3 )
The Presidential Business Support programme within the last three years has conducted two successful windows of business support with training opportunities for 19,000 businesses or entrepreneurs in Ghana and total of 4,350 funding beneficiaries.
The impact of the presidential business support nation-wide has been huge in terms of Sustainable jobs that are being created and the contribution to the GDP Growth. Despite these successes, we believe that greater impact can also be achieve by going down to the grassroots in the rural and peri urban communities that have not really benefitted from the first two windows of the programmes. After a careful review of the two windows, Management of NEIP are of the view that window 3 be conducted in line with our objective of the COMMUNITY BUSINESS INITIATIVE The Community Business Initiative programme is in line with the key mandate of the Ministry of Business Development to develop and implement policies and programmes to improve the entrepreneurial capacity of Ghanaians particularly the youth in rural communities in order to create jobs and wealth.
