The implementation of the accompanying measure will significantly support the successful establishment of DBG’s business model as the national development bank in the Ghanaian market. The project as such combines three areas of intervention:
Training and capacity building at DBG
Due to the specific tasks and the associated product range, there will be a high need for training for new employees. The consulting services financed under the complementary measure are intended to meet this need.
Training at the PFIs
This Business Development Services component should start with an evaluation of the corresponding needs assessment of the participating Partner Financial Institutions (PFIs). Based on this, training materials will be developed that can be used by the consultant across PFIs. After an introductory phase of approximately one to two years, DBG employees will be able to conduct such training courses independently at the PFIs. The topics of marketing for Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) loans and Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) in the granting of loans to MSMEs should also be included in the training courses.
Framework conditions for lending to MSMEs
In addition to the lack of availability of medium and long-term financing, the legal and regulatory framework for lending to MSMEs is suboptimal. Therefore, a small part of the funds of the accompanying measure should be used to display these existing hurdles and make proposals for their removal.
