This initiative forms part of DBG’s commitment to foster strong partnerships to build capacity for SMEs.
The programme has been designed for SMEs to build knowledge on the various business areas that will enhance their ability to access funding from DBG’s partner financial institutions (PFIs) as well as build sustainable businesses.
