Government has advised members of
the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector whose businesses have been
affected by the national lockdown to come forward and register their names for
a possible financial bailout, TellZim can report.
In a communiqué dated April 01,
the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises
Development urges the affected interests to compile lists of their members.
“In view of the global outbreak
of Covid-19 and the subsequent National Lockdown to minimise the spread of the
disease, Government is considering a number of interventions to minimize the
impact of the lockdown. One of the interventions is to assist people engaged in
the SME and Informal Sector through providing assistance to cushion against
loss of income for subsistence.
“The Ministry of Women Affairs,
Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development is therefore requesting for
SME and Informal Sector Associations to compile lists of members of their associations
for submission to the Ministry’s Provincial Offices. The information should
include name, sex, ID number, address, ward or area and cell number,” reads the
communique.
In Chivi district, people have
been told that those who should register their details include vendors,
non-food manufacturers, hardware operators, general dealers, builders and
small-scale miners.
