Technology is key to speeding up the global gender equality agenda- NBSSI Boss
Accra, March 8, The Executive Director of the
National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI),
Mrs. Kosi Yankey-Ayeh, says technology is key to
speeding up the global gender equality agenda.

In a statement to mark International Women’s
Day, Mrs Yankey-Ayeh said women-owned and led
businesses across the globe could use technology
to grow, expand and become competitive.

Each year, the International Women’s Day (IWD)
is held on 8th March to celebrate women’s
achievements and to call for a coordinated and
concerted effort to promote gender balance and
equality.

It also brings to the limelight the political,
social, economic and cultural issues faced by
women and to advocate for the progress of women in
all spheres of life.

The NBSSI, the Agency mandated to strengthen and
grow the Micro, Small, and medium enterprises
(MSMEs) Sector with special focus on
women-owned/led businesses, joins the millions of
women worldwide to mark the 2021 International
Women’s Day with a focus on challenging women
entrepreneurs to strive for survival in the midst
of COVID-19.

The statement said the theme of this year’s
campaign “Women in leadership: Achieving an
equal future in a COVID-19 world” resonated with
NBSSI’s focus for the year’s celebration.

She noted that COVID-19 had taught the world that
digitalisation was the new resilience for every
business which desired to survive during the
Pandemic.

Mrs. Yankey-Ayeh said tools such as mobile phones,
tablets, and cloud-based services could be used to
scale up and help women-owned/led businesses to
extend their business operations across the globe
to compete more effectively.

She noted that this has become necessary as the
African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has
commenced and urged all MSME’s to take advantage
of it.

As part of the celebrations this year, NBSSI is
organizing a virtual Seminar and Masterclasses on
Tuesday, March 9 on topics such as Governance and
Leadership, Risk Management, and Digitalisation,
among others which are crucial for the survival
and growth of every business in this COVID-19
era.

Mrs. Yankey-Ayeh entreated all women, especially
the entrepreneurs to register via the
https://nbssi.gov.gh/iwd2021 to participate in the
programme.

She wished all women locally and internationally,
a memorable celebration and reiterated NBSSI’s
continuous support towards the development and
sustainable growth of the MSME sector in Ghana.

This year’s Seminar is being organised in
partnership with the Mastercard Foundation Young
Africa Works and supported by PersoL Systems, Food
and Drugs Authority, MTN Ghana and Axis Pension
Trust.
