Ecobank Ghana — bank offering financing and support to women-led SMEs through its Ellevate Programme.

Ecobank Ghana's Head of Marketing stated that empowering women-led SMEs is critical to the country's economic growth, noting that while women entrepreneurs dominate Ghana's agribusiness value chains, they face barriers in finance access, technical capacity, and market linkages. The bank's Ellevate Programme aims to address these gaps by providing capital, knowledge, and market access beyond traditional banking services.
