Creating an Eco-system for the Self-Employed to Thrive

Navigating the high seas of innovation, my team and I launched the first-ever Ghana Month Exhibition, a platform exclusively showcasing Made in Ghana products.

Hosted by SSNIT at the Pension House, this vibrant event allowed over 40 self-employed entrepreneurs to display and sell a variety of local goods—from textiles to jewelry— with all vendors selling out due to overwhelming patronage.

This initiative not only boosted vendor sales and visibility but also promoted sustainability and economic resilience.

Beyond immediate sales, the vendors gained a valuable network and exposure, linking them to a broader market and potentially enhancing their long-term income stability. This aligns with social protection goals by helping individuals build a more secure economic future.

By creating a regular space for such exhibitions, we can significantly support the growth of Ghanaian businesses, benefiting the entire economic ecosystem from financial institutions like banks, transport industry, to the government and entire product value chains.

This model of proactive support, if adopted by more companies, could amplify the impact across the business community, reinforcing social safety nets for self-employed individuals through enhanced business opportunities.

Kudos to SSNIT, Corporate Affairs Division and the Internal Communications and Protocol Unit for spearheading this impactful event! Special gratitude to all Staff Lady Rita Bruce-Attuquayefio Evangeline Gbenartey

Cheers to fostering more of such collaborative successes.
