    Businesses can make a profit while creating a lasting impact on the environment and society. 🌍💼 The Support to the Private and Financial Sector (PFS) Programme is conducting Ghana's first-ever landscape study on Inclusive Business and Inclusive Green Business (IB/IGB)! This study profiles companies with potential IB and IGB business lines and supports their growth.

    Did you know the Ghana Audit Service (GAS) launched the CitizensEye mobile application in 2018 to help you rate public service delivery and report issues that require urgent attention? To share results and outcomes of the app over the period, GAS with our support, organized a two-day workshop which was attended by Deputy Auditor-General, Mr. Lawrence Ndaago Ayagiba, representatives from the Office of Special Prosecutor (OSP), Economic and Organised Crimes Organization (EOCO), Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the media. This workshop focused on discussing the app’s functionality, identifying existing gaps, reviewing feedback from previous responses and exploring collaboration opportunities to increase the value of the application in improving public service delivery. The CitizensEye mobile application is available for download on Android and iOS platforms, and can be assessed on your computer at https://audit.gov.gh/. Your voice matters! #CitizensEye #Speakout #GhanaAuditService #Transparency #Accountability #Ghana

    Micro and Small Business Clinics Initiative Benefits 800 Micro and Small Businesses! We are excited to announce that 800 micro and small businesses in the Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo regions benefited from our 2024 Micro and Small Business Clinics (MSBC) initiative! 📈💼 In collaboration with the Insurance Awareness Coordinators Group (IACG), we oraginized a four-month sensitization program to educate business owners on the importance of insurance, boosting their confidence in quality products. We also assessed the risks and needs of these Micro and small businesses to help insurance providers tailor services to their needs. The knowledge gained will help businesses manage risk, increase resilience, and boost productivity, creating more employment opportunities. After successful programs in Greater Accra (2019) and Ashanti Region (2023), we are excited to expand to Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo regions this year! This project is an initiative of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Support to the Private and financial sector (PFS) Programme. #MSBC #InsuranceAwareness #FinancialInclusion #BMZ #Germancooperation
