National Dialogue of South Africa
SASMEA's role
SASMEA participates in South Africa’s National Dialogue to help ensure that small business perspectives are represented in conversations about economic growth, jobs, competitiveness and inclusion. We believe better policy outcomes come from listening to the businesses that create opportunities in communities every day.
What?
The National Dialogue is a citizen-led, non-partisan process to listen, solve, and rebuild, from ward to nation, everyone has a say.
Why?
Because South Africa cannot solve unemployment, poverty and economic growth challenges without empowering small business. SASMEA is committed to ensuring that SMEs have a meaningful voice in shaping the future of our nation
How?
By connecting entrepreneurs with policymakers, industry leaders and decision-makers through the National Dialogue, SASMEA transforms the experiences of small businesses into actionable recommendations that support growth, investment and job creation.
