Prioritise rural businesses in Women’s Bank – NETRIGHT urges gov’t

Mrs Akakpo said NETRIGHT had made recommendations to the Ministry of Finance on the 2027 Budget to incorporate those issues for effective implementation of the bank’s operations to ensure women benefitted and their limited access to finance addressed.

Additionally, it advocated that government ensured the bank addressed systemic challenges impeding women from accessing funds from the traditional banking and financial system.

By Francis Ntow, GNA Accra, Sept 9, GNA – The Network for Women’s Rights in Ghana (NETRIGHT) has urged the Government to make the Women’s Development Bank (WDB)work for rural businesses, especially those owned by women, youth and the marginalised, while encouraging acceleration of its operationalisation.
