Mentorship critical to survival and growth of MSMEs – Sinapi Aba Trust

The mentorship call was made at the graduation ceremony of the sixth cohort of the Sinapi Aba Trust/BMZ Mentorship Programme, which has trained 300 young women entrepreneurs in the informal sector.

The Sinapi Aba Trust Mentorship Programme was established to bridge critical gaps that prevent entrepreneurs in the MSME sector, particularly women, from reaching their full business potential.

Many young businesses struggle to survive beyond their early years due to limited managerial skills, weak financial systems and the inability to navigate an increasingly competitive business environment.
