Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in improving the quality of life in our communities.

This event took place at our Success Space on the 18th of January 2023.

The engagement was led by Mr. Bilal Taimako Shamsudeen, our director of Business Development.

During this discussion, the effectiveness of the ecosystem, the challenges faced, and the potential solutions were all key points of focus.

The skilled craftsmen in Ghana, both in the Northern region and elsewhere, have made a significant impact on the country’s history of crafting excellence. Through their trades, they have not only contributed greatly to the economy but also added to the vibrant cultural heritage of the nation.

The objective of this dialogue was to engage with artisans as part of EISD’s ARTISAN EMPOWERMENT PROJECT and gain insights into their views on the effectiveness of the artisan community specifically in the Northern region. We aimed to delve into the challenges they encounter and identify potential remedies to address these issues.

Over 120 industry partners of Alinea Foundation and members of 30 Industrial Trades Associations and in Northern Ghana participated a unique set of workshops in Bolgatanga, Tamale, and Wa from 23rd to 26th October 2023. The workshop aimed to validate the first ever Gender Audit on trades associations in Northern Ghana and promote international best practices for gender-responsive industries. This workshop under the theme "Audit to Action" was facilitated by the Edugha Institute for Social Development (EISD). Following thought-provoking breakout sessions, each trade area within the five regions competed by pitching their ideas to promote gender mainstreaming. A panel of judges from Alinea Foundation's regional Project Advisor Committee (PAC) assessed these initiatives and awarded cash prizes for the best initiatives. The winners from each region were awarded GHS 3,000.00, while the first runner-up received GHS 2,000.00 to start their gender-responsive activities. Additionally, certificates of appreciation were presented to industry partners who provided Workplace Experience Learning opportunities for trainees by the Field Manger, Dr Nancy M. Drost. Participants emphasized the workshop's positive impact on their professional and personal development. They reaffirmed their dedication to supporting the WEE-North project.
