I call on government to put in place sustainable policies targeted at small businesses in the country to help them grow. - Rosemond Aboagyewa Boohene

I admitted that the entrepreneurship sector was fraught with problems and recommend the creation of specialised agencies, financial support programmes, capacity-building initiatives, and policy reforms, to revamp the sector.

I have worked on a lot of projects aimed at fostering an entrepreneurial mindset in students of the UCC, including university wide entrepreneurship course, Business incubator, among others.

There is growing confidence among researchers in the ability of small businesses to play a vital role in economic development. This role is manifested through their contribution to innovation, job creation, and income generation. In transitional economies such as Ghana, small businesses comprise about 90 per cent of all registered enterprises and are recognised as a crucial and integral component of economic development policies aimed at sustained poverty reduction.
