The federal government has rolled out the Presidential Conditional Grant Scheme (PCGS) to empower nano businesses as part of the Presidential Palliative Programme.
Beginning 9 March, the scheme offers financial grants, without repayment obligations, to eligible small business owners operating in various sectors such as trading, food services, ICT, transportation, creatives and artisans.
The PCGS targets 70 per cent women and youth, 10per cent people with disabilities, and 5 per cent senior citizens, with the remaining 15 per cent distributed to other demographics.
