PoliServe Committee Begins Rural Market Fund Disbursement in Kabusa Market

On 3rd March 2026, the PoliServe Committee commenced the first phase of its Rural Market Fund disbursement at Kabusa Market, taking an important step toward supporting women-led businesses and strengthening grassroots enterprise.

The initial phase focused on women in the Fish Union, with future disbursement cycles set to cover traders in the vegetable, yam, and tomato unions. This phased approach is intended to ensure that support reaches women across different sections of the market and promotes broad-based economic inclusion.

Before receiving the funds, beneficiaries participated in basic financial literacy sessions designed to strengthen their business management skills. The training covered simple bookkeeping, savings practices, and how to calculate profit and loss, equipping participants with practical tools to better manage and grow their businesses.

The PoliServe Rural Market Fund operates as a non-interest loan scheme, meaning beneficiaries are only expected to repay the original amount received within the agreed timeline, without any added interest.

The fund has also been structured as a revolving scheme. Once a group completes its repayment cycle, the same funds are disbursed to another group of women, creating a sustainable model that expands access to financial support over time.

This intervention reflects PoliServe’s commitment to creating targeted, community-based solutions that improve women’s economic participation, strengthen small businesses, and build long-term financial resilience in rural markets.
