P. 69: Through GoL with UNDP partnership, the Business Opportunities Support Services (BOSS) Project, is building the capacity of businesses in four counties (Nimba, Bong, Margibi and Grand Bassa) through the provision of training and logistical support. The project increasingly enhanced decentralization and support of start-up opportunities for small and micro-entrepreneurs across the country and increased sustainable employment opportunities across the country. Also, beneficiaries (youth, women, and small agricultural producers) skills have been strengthened to participate and engage in the decision-making process, volunteerism, and community development.
