And sometimes they need just 500 cedis as capital; some of them need 1,000 cedis as capital, and they can't get it," he said.

And so we are coming with the Women's Development Bank; it is going to be a bank that targets industries and small enterprises in which women are involved, and so we'll have branches of the bank in every district," he added.
