This, he said, forms part of the ministry\u2019s \u201cGrowth at Home\u201d strategy that aims to de-risk the investment environment, while offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to unlock private capital for sustainable investments.<\/p>\n<p>Shipanga said that these efforts were made because of the impact that Covid-19 had on entrepreneurs and the economy at large. He added that the ministry is aware that entrepreneurs struggle to access financial support as traditional financial institutions are often reluctant to fund MSMEs. This reluctance, he explained, is due to the perceived risks associated with upcoming entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is therefore a key economic imperative of our times to develop initiatives that promotes entrepreneurial shows of this kind if we are to move our country\u2019s economy from the current depression state. We therefore need to continue establishing cooperation between different stakeholders in fashion that will combine efforts and limited resources to achieve greater national objectives,\u201d Shipanga said.<\/p>\n<p>The need to support MSMEs was further emphasised by the governor of the Oshikoto Region, Penda Ya Ndakolo, who stressed that MSMEs are key contributors to employment creation, income generation and poverty eradication. He said that MSMEs provide employment and income to about 160 000 Namibians and contribute about 12% to the country\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMSMEs are the backbone of the Namibian economy. Therefore, we need to ensure that their businesses are scaled to continue contributing to the economy,\u201d Ya Ndakolo added.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Reporter The Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade spent approximately N$32 million over the last two years to support about 866 entrepreneurs in the country.
