COVID19 has exposed the vulnerabilities of many small and growing businesses (SGBs) and how they respond to adversity all around the world. In Ghana, many of the businesses including hubs that relied on physical social groupings have seen halt inactivity due to the restrictions of social distancing. Hubs, like other businesses, are realising the need to evaluate their business models to examine their capacity for local value creation in the face of adversity such as the global (or local) shutdown we witnessed with the COVID19 pandemic.  

In line with this, GIZ in collaboration with Ashesi University, specifically the D-lab is organizing a capacity-building project to support entrepreneurship hubs across Ghana to develop Local Resiliency Business Models for the hub to cope with social distancing restrictions on its operations.
