| description |
TechnoServe (TNS) is an international
non-governmental organization founded in 1968 and has
programs in 14 countries in Africa, Latin America and
Central Europe. The Ghana program was established in 1971.
TechnoServe's mission is to establish sustainable
community-based enterprises that increase productivity,
income and employment. It opposes food relief, subsidized
inputs and grants and promotes self-help and technical
assistance to rural communities. This approach involves the
provision of financial and business management training in
order to help these communities make sound business
decisions and create and operate their own enterprises.
Although TNS believed that the key to financing these small
community-based enterprises was savings, eventually it
became convinced that credit was also necessary. TNS
therefore evolved its own financial mediation strategy by
developing innovative mechanisms for micro-enterprise financing. |
