By conducting the training in the local language, AfSMBA team ensured maximum accessibility and understanding. This inclusive approach empowers participants to take full advantage of the knowledge offered and apply it directly to their businesses.

The impact of this initiative extends far beyond individual businesses. By fostering a more robust and empowered informal sector, the training has the potential to:

• Boost the local economy: Increased business success translates to job creation, increased spending, and overall economic growth within Adukrom.
• Encourage innovation and entrepreneurship: Empowered individuals are more likely to experiment with new ideas and services, leading to a more dynamic local business landscape.
