Tema, (Greater Accra) 30 Oct.,
The Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF), a German non-governmental organization, has urged beneficiaries of its various training programmes aimed at equipping people with various professional skills to consider entering into partnerships. This would enable them benefit from others in areas where they lack expertise and to enable them contain competition so long as they share similar aims and aspirations. Mrs. Eva-Maria Kohler, resident representative of the foundation gave the advice at the closing ceremony of a 10-day upgrading workshop on batik and tie and dye organised by the Young Career Women (YCW), a non-governmental organization for 25 participants at Tema. The upgrading workshop funded by the foundation as a follow-up to a similar one held in June this year is to enable the participants up-date their knowledge and skills in batiks and tie and dye fabrics, to enable them survive the highly competitive nature of the business. It is also meant to create more job opportunities and alleviate poverty.
