It has truly been a remarkable experience working with the UNDP Nigeria team. We are geared towards greater impact in 2025!

Can you guess what all SMEs have in common? The desire to scale and avoid stagnation. Yet, while the ambition is universal, the challenges to grow a business, including building trust, managing operations, and staying compliant—are all too real. However, introducing clear processes for your business, building a strong track record to attract investment, and putting into action a culture that carries your stakeholders along, among other things, can open you to a world of opportunities. This was the main message delivered during our collaboration with Women Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines & Agriculture (formerly NAWORG) WCCIMA to strengthen women-owned businesses. We unpacked 8 transformative strategies straight from the FINANCIAL REPORTING COUNCIL OF NIGERIA, SME Corporate Governance Guidelines, challenging women entrepreneurs to look beyond traditional boundaries and ask questions such as: ● How do you build a business that excels with or without you? ● How can processes separate a good business from a great one? ● Can business ethics and compliance actually be a secret weapon for growth? We celebrate our women entrepreneurs and their burning passion to redefine the business landscape and do clean business. #BusinessGrowth #WomenInBusiness #SMELeadership
