A sensitization session for MSMEs in the cosmetic and personal care value chains was held in Accra and Kumasi on January 17, 18, and 19 by the UNIDO-West Africa Competitiveness Programme (WACOMP)-Ghana and the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA).
The newly developed standards on black soap, lotion and cosmetics standards (FDGS 289 Soaps and Detergents – Specification for Alata Samina (Black Soap); FDGS 1323 Soaps and Detergents – Specification for Alata Samina Shower or Bath Gel (African Black Shower or Bath Gel); FDGS 1324 Black Soap – Code of Practice for the Black Soap (Alata Samina) Manufacturing Industry) were extensively discussed for easy adoption by the entrepreneurs.
The project, in collaboration with the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), developed 16 standards (2 cassava and 14 cosmetics & personal care products) to support the competitiveness and quality of the cassava and cosmetics value chains.
MSMEs in Ghana are expected to adopt and utilize the standards to enhance their competitiveness in the production of quality-certified products and access the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
