The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Hon. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to collaborating with the private sector to strengthen the growth and competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Ghana.
She gave the assurance when a delegation from MTN Ghana paid a courtesy call on her at the Ministry in Accra on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
The MTN Ghana delegation was led by the company’s Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer, Ms. Adwoa Wiafe.
Discussions centered on opportunities for collaboration between the Ministry and MTN Ghana to support the development of MSMEs, promote entrepreneurship and explore other areas of mutual interest aimed at driving economic growth.
The meeting also explored initiatives that would leverage MTN Ghana’s expertise and corporate social investment programmes to complement the Government’s efforts to strengthen the MSME sector.
Responding to the proposals, Hon. Ofosu-Adjare expressed appreciation to MTN Ghana for the visit and its willingness to partner with the Ministry to advance Ghana’s industrialization and enterprise development agenda.
She noted that the Ministry would identify priority areas where collaboration would have the greatest impact, particularly in supporting small businesses to become more competitive and sustainable.
The Minister further highlighted the importance of working closely with the Ghana Enterprises Agency to expand opportunities for entrepreneurs through skills development, start-up support and seed funding to enable MSMEs to grow and create jobs.
She expressed optimism that stronger collaboration between the Ministry and MTN Ghana would contribute significantly to empowering entrepreneurs, fostering innovation and accelerating private sector-led economic development in the country.
