A six-day capacity building workshop took place on Sunday in Accra for 111 small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs.
The participants were individuals, SMEs and civil society organisations with innovative ideas to take up the challenge posed by the theme: Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Job.
Mr Kofi Tsikata, World Bank official, said the workshop was to train the participants to be able to fine-tune their proposals for appraisal, of which 50 will be selected and out of which the eventual winners will be selected.
Mr Mats Karlsson, World Bank country Director said the project has the capacity to reduce poverty, create jobs and advance development in the country.
He said local entrepreneurs needed to take advantage of the improving microeconomic environment of the country to develop their business by improving upon their skills to source for financial assistance.
