TATAK: MATATAG NA NEGOSYO
The Tatak: Matatag na Negosyo (TMN), is a coalition born out of the desire of government agencies, microfinance institutions, civil society organizations, and business corporations to help micro retailers thread through the challenges of the pandemic by ushering them transform into sustainable and resilient enterprises.
With the package of interventions the TMN will offer, it aspires to enhance the capacities of micro-stores that will improve business operations and unleash their entrepreneurial skills, facilitate information on and access to formal financial channels that will address diverse financing needs in varying circumstances, and build strong market linkages that will optimize supply chain management.
