INVITATION TO THE SMME ROADSHOW WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
The Department of Small Business Development (DSBD) and its agencies, the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) and the Small Enterprise Finance Agency (sefa) invites you to the Ehlanzeni District SMMEs (including Co-ops) Roadshow. The development and support of SMMEs is critical for economic recovery and job creation. SMMEs are the key drivers for job creation, therefore unlocking value chains for the benefit of small businesses remains critical in recovering an economy that has lost over a million jobs because of the pandemic. Minister for Small Business Development, Ms. Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams will lead the countrywide roadshows themed: “unlocking opportunities for SMMEs and Co-operatives for economic growth and job creation”.
The purpose of the roadshow is to showcase the work of the DSBD, its agencies and other strategic government departments (National, Provincial and Local). It is crucial for various stakeholders to work together in ensuring the desired impact, through the assessments of various challenges and highlighting lessons learnt in various districts. This can only be achieved through partnerships with both the public and private sectors. The DSBD will also utilize this roadshow as a partnership dialogue to engage with different stakeholders.
This ministerial roadshow is critical in ensuring that there is a seamless engagement across all spheres of government. As a valued stakeholder, the Minister for Small Business Development, Ms Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams hereby requests the pleasure of your presence at the Roadshow as scheduled below:
Date: 26 January 2022
