Since its establishment four years ago, IIA has provided business opportunities valued at $150m to Ghanaian SMEs registered on its online marketplace platform, the African Partner Pool (APP).

IIA has facilitated over $1m of credit support to SMEs. Through skills training, IIA has empowered over 230 local SME’s by improving their entrepreneurial, managerial and technical competencies.

Commenting on the partnership, the General Manager of MTN Enterprise Business, Mr. Samuel Addo, reiterated that by partnering IIA, MTN is living up to its overriding mission to be a vehicle for Ghana’s economic growth and development.

“MTN’s world-class telecommunications products and services, as well as innovative and sustainable corporate social responsibility initiatives, are all contributing to the realization of Ghana’s strong development potential. This partnership is our way of helping SMEs grow and play their role in the nation’s development” Mr. Addo emphasised.

IIA plans to provide $500m worth of business to Ghanaian SMEs, and in the process contribute to supporting 100,000 jobs by 2022.
