Ghana has a young and large potential workforce, but only a limited supply of jobs. The greatest potential for job creation is attributed to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The project aims to facilitate access to finance for MSMEs, strengthen their competitiveness, promote the utilization of employment opportunities and develop the traction of the green economy to ultimately contribute to the key concern of improved job creation in the MSME sector.
The specific objective of the project is to improve employment in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in selected regions of Ghana. The aim is to improve both demand-oriented financial services for MSMEs and the range of services offered by regional networks. Returnees and potential migrants should make use of the job placement services in the network. In addition, the implementation of measures to promote the “green economy” for MSMEs is planned on a pilot basis.
Task
The overall objective of the project is to improve the framework conditions for private (domestic and foreign) investment as well as the training, employment and income situation in the Ghanaian private sector, particularly in micro, medium and small enterprises (MSMEs), in line with a sustainable and inclusive economic development.
