Accra Metropolis
Today more than ever before, the skills, knowledge, motivation and activation of entrepreneurs are crucial preconditions for the sustainable success, productivity and innovation of enterprises. However, the situation of Micro, Small & Medium scale Enterprises (MSMEs) with regard to training is characterized by a paradox.
L'AINE Foundation’s programme in the Accra Metropolitan area focuses on providing continuous training and lifelong learning (both for workers and managerial staff) for MSMEs to grow their businesses
Most MSMEs in the municipality especially those in the informal sector, their problems are lack capital; businesses ideas; managing staff for results; marketing with limited budget etc.
Thanks to the unflagging commitment of all our donors and supporters, L'AINE Foundation provides vulnerable women from skills training in profitable activities such as dressmaking; textile design and printing; home management; hairdressing; and cloth weaving short-term Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) training.
So far, the Foundation has helped prolific young writers to publish and market their books. Read more...
Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises face particular problems due to their small size and limited resources. Starting up a new business and getting the required capital is a challenge, as is finding the right kind of finance to expand an established business. Due to their limited resources, they suffer more from red tape and administrative burdens than larger enterprises. They often struggle to keep on top of new developments in information and communication technologies, and encounter difficulties finding qualified staff as well as providing them with adequate training and education. Moreover, finding successors for retiring business owners can also be problematic-but L'AINE Foundation helps to find the solution.
