EBSMEDA & Ministry of Capital City Development: Building a Thriving Urban Economy in Ebonyi State
MSME-Friendly Urban Planning
EBSMEDA has worked with the Ministry to ensure that city planning accommodates the needs of small businesses. This includes the development of designated business clusters, market spaces, and innovation zones that support micro and small-scale entrepreneurs.
Infrastructure Development for Business Growth
Through joint efforts, the Ministry has provided improved road networks, lighting, and drainage systems in key business areas, while EBSMEDA has complemented this with capacity-building programs and access to funding for MSMEs operating in those zones.
Urban Market Revitalization
The collaboration has also focused on upgrading existing markets and creating new commercial spaces that are safe, accessible, and business-friendly. These modern markets now support more vendors and ensure better compliance with safety and environmental standards.
Youth Empowerment and Urban Employment
Together, both agencies have launched entrepreneurship training and empowerment initiatives for youth within the capital city. These programs aim to reduce unemployment and promote local job creation through business development.
