Abak Foundation Build Capacity of 80 PWD Entrepreneurs

80 physically challenged entrepreneurs have benefited from a capacity-building programme under the economic empowerment project for persons with disability PWD. The beneficiaries at the MSMEs clinic were taken through modules to improve their business management skills and also offered the opportunity to interact with representatives from key private sector institutions in the finance and commerce space.

The Head of Marketing, Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Madam Grace Akosua Dzeble, said MSMEs were afforded the opportunity to showcase their products and services at the exhibition as part of the programme. She urged the entrepreneurs to formalize their operations by registering their business with the registrar of companies.

The Programme Officer for the Project, Madam Grace Akua Mahmood, for her part said it was important for PWDs to participate, benefited and contribute to the development of the country through effective participation in empowerment.

According to her, the design of the economic empowerment project was based on the outcome of a survey that highlighted the gaps that existed in the employment of persons with disabilities. Mr Philip Dua, who is the Executive Director of ABAK foundation, an implementing partner of the project said so far, about 360 PWDs had benefited from both the formal job seekers support and the micro business components of the project.
