he Ministry of Trade and Industry has launched a comprehensive programme in the Oti Region aimed at driving the growth and development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This initiative is designed to boost economic activities, enhance the capacity of local businesses, and create opportunities for employment in the region.
The programme focuses on providing SMEs with the necessary tools, training, and financial support to scale up their operations. It also includes mentorship and access to market opportunities, both locally and internationally. By empowering these enterprises, the government hopes to stimulate economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve living standards in the Oti Region.
This effort is part of a broader national agenda to strengthen SMEs across Ghana, recognizing their critical role in the economy as major contributors to job creation and innovation. The Trade Ministry, through this initiative, seeks to ensure that businesses in rural areas like Oti have access to the same resources and opportunities as those in more urbanized regions.
