摘要：
The activities, programs and services of three of the development institutions and agencies that includes the National Board for Small-Scale Industries (NBSSI), Ghana regional appropriate technology Industrial Service (GRATIS) Foundation, and EMPRETEC Ghana has been given focused. While NBSSI is the major government agency for small-scale industries, GRATIS is a public agency directly involved in technological development and transfer, and EMPRETEC Ghana is one of the largest and best-established non-governmental organization (NGO) supporting small-scale industries. These organizations provide financial support to small enterprises, helping them drive the socio-economic process in Ghana. Nonetheless, certain aspects of support needs to be improved including financial support and start-up capital for businesses, and procedures for administering the various loan schemes. The microcredit and other financial schemes are helping alleviate the financial challenges faced by small-scale enterprises.
