Dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre du Projet d' appui to business structuring (PASE), the Minister of Trade, Industry and the Promotion of SMEs presided over the ceremony awarding productivity equipment to 84 entrepreneurs from Yamoussoukro. The financial partner of this project is the Federal Republic of Germany through GIZ.

L'objectif du projet PASE est de faire Migrate entrepreneurs to the formal sector. Indeed, Minister Souleymane Diarrassouba stressed the importance of the private sector in terms of creating added values and jobs. According to him, his contribution to the PND 2021-2025 is 75%.

For him, “for the country to develop further, it is important to help and structure economic operators and the Government must be oriented towards promoting business. It is at this price that we will be able to generate added value and create a lot of jobs for young people. Strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem makes it possible to better support MSMEs, from support to financing.”

Therefore, he adds, this action in the regions aims primarily at making young people sedentary and getting them to participate in the development of their respective localities.
