ermodalan Nasional Madani (PNM) is once again providing greater access for business capacity development in collaboration with the Jambi city administration.
The Jambi provincial government has established a partnership with PNM to support the activities of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across all districts and cities in the Jambi province. This is done for the welfare of the local community within the city.
The statement was made by the governor when attending the Business Capacity Development (PKU) event held on Tuesday at the Gedung Ratu Convention Center (RCC) in Jambi.
During the occasion, Governor Al Haris also stated that the Business Capacity Development program for ultra-micro female entrepreneurs was one of PNM’s concrete efforts to empower MSMEs in Jambi province.

Arief Mulyadi, president director of PNM, shed light on the growth of its empowered community when he noted, “Today, the number of active PNM Mekaar customers has reached 14.7 million, all of whom are underprivileged mothers. Let us assume each mother has one child, which means there are 14.7 million children who have been given life lessons about entrepreneurship, and it is hoped that one day these children will become warriors for the future of Indonesian MSMEs.”
Optimism held, Arief’s keynote speech touched upon the positive impact of PNM Mekaar in facilitating empowerment.
