The Ghana Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Project aims to enhance the competitive and employment levels of Ghanaian Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This will be achieved by: (1) building an integrated market access and trade facilitation infrastructure; (2) proactively supporting entrepreneurship development; (3) developing and strengthening, on a sustainable basis, the capacity of local intermediaries to deliver financial and non-financial services to MSMEs, and MSMEs to make productive use of these services; (4) reducing selected business constraints, including technical barriers to trade, faced by MSMEs; (5) providing an enabling environment (access to finance, trade promotion, and trade facilitation infrastructure) to boost increased investments in the MSME sector; and (6) enhancing the facilitation, project development, and implementation roles of the Government.
