The guidelines for the 2021-22 Clothing, Textiles, Footwear and Leather Growth Programme (CTFLGP) have been recently published. The programme is OPEN for applications and the guidelines are effective from the 15th of September 2021.
The programme, which is based upon the Retail-Clothing, Textile, Footwear and Leather (R-CTFL) Value Chain Masterplan, is broad in its scope and includes grants (capped at R5 million), and interest-free and concessional loans (capped at R10 million).
