The Association of Ghana Apparel Manufacturers (AGAM) and the Foreign Trade Association of the German Retail Trade (AVE), have announced a new partnership aimed at fostering sustainable growth and employment in Ghana's textile sector.
This collaboration is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
A press release issued in Accra said, “The partnership will focus on three primary objectives: Strengthening the management of AGAM in a sustainable manner. Providing demand-oriented services for member companies. Establishing a professional representation of interests.”
"Our collaboration with AVE will empower us to better manage our organization, offer tailored services to our members, and professionally advocate for their interests," Nura Salifu, Acting President of AGAM said.
She added, "The joint endeavor is part of a broader objective to improve the business environment for Ghanaian enterprises in the Apparel, Garment and Textile sector, which in turn will drive economic growth and employment development across Ghana.”
On his side, the President of AVE, Professor Dr Tobias Wollermann said "We see this partnership as an opportunity to bolster sustainable development in the textile sector. Our joint efforts will enhance competitiveness, fostering a stronger, more resilient textile sector."
The partnership will also encompass capacity-building efforts, training programs, and networking opportunities that can further enhance the skill sets of these enterprises and promote the sustainability of the AGAM management.
“This significant collaboration represents an international commitment to bolstering economic development in Ghana, with particular attention to the textile industry. Both AGAM and AVE eagerly anticipate the positive impacts this partnership will bring to the nation's textile sector and broader economic landscape” the release concluded.
