The SheHub Ghana benefits from the NEIP Hubs acceleration program
NEIP to disburse $7 million to Hubs as part of NEIP Hubs Acceleration Grant Programme under the Ghana Economic Transformation Project-GETP.
Ghana Economic Transformation Project has four (4) components, and NEIP’s programmes fall under Component 3 of the project.
The component 3 supports entrepreneurship and SME growth in non-resource-based sectors and it is aimed at addressing the limited development of the SME and entrepreneurship support ecosystem, including early-stage financing to promote and strengthen a growth model that is conducive to economic transformation, to achieve higher rates of investment and productivity growth across the economy, especially in non-resource-based sectors.
The Hubs Grant sub-component under Component 3 which contract ceremony we are executing today, is a Grant Programme to support the development of the entrepreneurship ecosystem by building the capacities of entrepreneurship hubs to bring the quality of their services up to international standards. The Hubs will be supported to run programmes, that would benefit firms and startups within our communities.
The grant programme was competitively designed to select a number of hubs which will be provided Technical assistance and capacity building to address gaps identified during the benchmarking exercise.
