NIMA MAAMOBI MARKETS UPGRADING AND
GENDER EMPOWERMENT PROJECT
Background:
The Nima and Maamobi is a twin community within the East Ayawaso Sub-Metropolitan Assembly of Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) of Greater Accra Region. It has a population of about 200,000 inhabitants.
The economic venture being practiced by the community members is petty trading.
The community has a high number of unemployment leading to poverty, crime and violence, high illiteracy rate, poor sanitation, school dropout, inadequate investment in infrastructure, gender inequality and low level of women participation in decision-making.
Benefits:
The upgrading of the two markets would help in achieving the MDG 1 (Eradicate extreme hunger and poverty), the market women and traders would have the opportunities of investing in their family and businesses for maximum benefit towards the improvement of their standard of living. The ability of the market women and traders to invest in the education of their children would help contribute to the achievement of the MDG2 (Universal Primary Education) by the set target. It would in the larger extend reduce the high number of school drop out within the communities.
Introduction:
Realising the socio-economic challenges facing Nima and Maamobi communities, urgent actions must be adopted to ensure a lasting solution to the challenges so as to improve the standard of living of community members.
