Discussions centered on deepening collaboration between MASLOC and the Regional Co-ordinating Council as well as the Districts to enhance access to microfinance support for small businesses and local entrepreneurs across the region.
Mr. Kwarteng expressed appreciation for the visit and reiterated the RCC’s readiness to support MASLOC’s work in the region. He highlighted the importance of timely access to microloans and capacity-building opportunities in empowering local businesses and reducing unemployment.
The Ag. CEO of MASLOC on her part thanked the Chief Director for the warm reception accorded her. She indicated her intentions to return at a later date to hold further talks aimed at expanding the operations of the centre in the Region. Madam Abigail A. Mensah also seized the opportunity to inspect offices allocated for MASLOC’s Regional and District operations to assess their readiness and suitability for staff deployment and client services.
