A simultaneous launching of the SME Roving Academy and signing of the Memorandum of Agreement for the Shared Service Facilities (SSF) for MSMEs project of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) was also made during the opening program of the Sandugo Trade Expo 2013.
SSF is a project of the government meant to improve the quality and productivity of microenterprises and MSMEs by addressing the gaps and bottlenecks in the value chain of priority industry clusters through the provision of processing equipment for the common use of the Microenterprises and SMEs.
Around Php 30 Million have been allotted for the Shared Services Facility (SSF) project in Central Visayas.
Shared Service Facilities or SSFs were recently launched in Bohol and Siquijor. These include meat processing facility in Catigbian, Bohol on July 12. On July 19, Shared Service facilities were launched for the wood craft industry and Bayong production in Siquijor.
