The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) will on Saturday, November 25, launch the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) annual Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) conference in the Monrovia. The conference is the largest annual gathering of small businesses with the chance to exhibit their products to a larger audience. The Annual MSME Conference is the flagship conference of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry Small Business Administration (SBA) and takes place this year in collaboration with the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication. The annual MSME conference was introduced as a core strategy for the implementation of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Policy, which was the country’s first National Policy on Poverty Alleviation and Wealth Creation for Liberian MSMEs. Although the four pillars of the MSME Policy are critical challenges which form the basis of MSME development in Liberia, among them, building skills and knowledge are of particular significance and are a priority area for the Ministry.
