The Garment And Textile Cluster Growth Support Scheme (GCSS) is a government initiative designed to help small businesses in the garment sector grow. It supports Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with tools that improve production quality and increase access to bigger markets. This scheme focuses on upgrading technology, building infrastructure, improving skills, and helping local garment makers reach more customers.
GCSS is aimed at a wide group of people in the clothing and textile industry. Fashion designers, tailors, garment manufacturers, exporters, workers, and industry associations can all qualify. Entrepreneurs and local communities involved in the sector are also encouraged to apply. The goal is to boost their ability to compete both locally and internationally.
The program provides financial support, skill-building workshops, and capacity development. Participants can improve their production process and grow their brand presence. This scheme opens new doors to business expansion, exports, and steady job creation, making it one of the top small business support programs in Nigeria.
