The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) has embarked on an extensive national monitoring tour, visiting various districts across Ghana to gain firsthand insights into the business environment and identify the challenges that are adversely affecting their members.

The objective of this initiative is to develop effective solutions to these challenges, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the overall performance and sustainability of businesses within the association. Madam Pearl Po, who is the National Coordinator for GUTA’s Women’s Wing, national secretary for the wing Mrs Gifty Fianu articulated the purpose of this endeavor to the media, emphasizing that GUTA is primarily established to support traders and has robust strategies in place to benefit its members.

The exercise commenced at Rawlings Park, where GUTA representatives engaged in conversations with their members, starting with those in the stationary sector, and concluding with businesses involved in the clothing industry.

It is GUTA’s mandate to ensure their members’ safety and prosperity in the marketplace. The association is hopeful that by next year, they will have visited all districts under GUTA’s jurisdiction nationwide to effectively address issues impeding business growth.

Following their visits to these locations, several members took the opportunity to express their concerns to the media, highlighting the urgent need for attention and solutions.
