General Manager of CED, Ronette Lewis, described TAMEED as a three-pronged programme focusing on technical training, mentorship, and financial assistance, designed to help entrepreneurs grow sustainable businesses.
“This is more than just a funding programme, it’s a call to action for men to take ownership of their businesses and professional development,” Lewis emphasized.
