GWITA encourages women to go beyond trading and into manufacturing and value addition. Our goal is to help women-led businesses grow from small-scale trading to industrial production.
Product Development & Value Addition
- Training in product differentiation, branding, and packaging to enhance competitiveness.
- Encouraging innovation through technology adoption in manufacturing.
- Facilitating access to funding and grants to scale up production.
Industrial & Technical Support
- Partnering with manufacturing hubs, industrial zones, and production facilities to provide workspace and resources.
- Helping members acquire machinery and raw materials at competitive prices.
- Facilitating collaboration between artisans, designers, and manufacturers to create high-quality products.
Promoting Made-in-Ghana Goods
- Running campaigns to encourage the purchase and export of locally-made products.
- Supporting members in gaining certifications like Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) and Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) approvals.
Outcome: Women entrepreneurs transition from small-scale trading to large-scale production, creating jobs and increasing revenue.
