Debswana, through a tripartite agreement with the Local Enterprise Authority (LEA) and the Tokafala Enterprise Development Programme, has announced an investment of P4 million into the local textile industry. The investment aims to build the industry's capacity to supply various industrial clothing and protective equipment.

The Textile Accelerator Programme, officially launched on Wednesday, has been a collaborative project that ultimately seeks to empower citizen-owned textile small to medium-size enterprises (SME) across the country with capacity building, financial support and market access opportunities.

The programme identified 34 SMEs, which have already received machinery to manufacture various personal protective equipment (PPE), along with 18 months of capacity building training to be able to make use of the machinery effectively and efficiently.
