MTN MoMo, in partnership with Inkomoko, has celebrated the graduation of 1,225 entrepreneurs who completed a programme designed to strengthen digital financial literacy and help small businesses integrate mobile money into their operations.
Over the past year, the entrepreneurs received business guidance and seed funding from Inkomoko, alongside practical digital financial literacy training from MTN MoMo. The programme focused on equipping participants with skills to use mobile money as a tool for managing and growing their businesses.
Through the training, participants learned how to accept digital payments, sell airtime and provide cash-in services. These skills are expected to help the entrepreneurs improve cash-flow management while creating additional opportunities for business growth.
The graduation ceremony brought together leaders and representatives from organisations including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the National Chamber of Commerce, the Mastercard Foundation and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
Speakers at the event commended the resilience of the graduates while highlighting the role of partnerships in promoting entrepreneurship, financial inclusion and economic development in South Sudan.
MTN Fintech also received an Award of Recognition for its contribution to entrepreneurship and financial inclusion through the programme.
The initiative underscores the growing role of digital financial services in supporting entrepreneurs and expanding access to financial tools across South Sudan.
