Orientation on Accessing Finance

An expert-led orientation on "Access to Finance" was delivered by the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia's Key Afer Branch Manager, strategically designed to bridge the gap between the entrepreneurs and formal banking services. This session not only demystified standard banking processes but also specifically detailed the upcoming loan opportunity provided outlining the clear criteria and application steps for access. The primary objectives were to equip participants with the knowledge to meet bank requirements, build their confidence to apply, and ensure they were fully prepared to capitalize on this specific financial resource to start or grow their businesses, laying a direct pathway from training to investment.
