Women’s Bank Will Empower Female Entrepreneurs – NDC Running Mate

Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the running mate to former president John Dramani Mahama on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for election 2024 has reaffirmed the party’s commitment to establishing a Women’s Development Bank if elected into power.

Speaking at the NDC’s manifesto launch on Saturday, August 24, in Winneba, Central Region, she explained that the bank will empower female entrepreneurs who face challenges accessing loans from financial institutions.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang emphasized that the next NDC government will create job opportunities, reduce financial barriers, and boost the businesses of female entrepreneurs.

“The Women’s Development Bank will be established to empower female entrepreneurs and small business owners by providing low-interest loans, financial education and sustainable support.

“This initiative will create job opportunities and bring down the financial barriers that many women face when starting and sustaining businesses,” Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang said.

She explained that the initiative would boost the businesses of female entrepreneurs and curb the harassment they often face when seeking loans.

“Additionally, the bank will provide women-led businesses with advisory services and low-interest loans, further supporting their growth and success.”
