Vice President of Ghana, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has launched the Adwumawura Programme, a comprehensive initiative designed to empower young entrepreneurs.

Speaking at the programme’s onboarding and orientation ceremony at the Cedi Conference Centre, University of Ghana, Legon, the Vice President underscored the government’s commitment to nurturing innovation, job creation, and economic transformation.

“The Adwumawura Programme transcends mere funding and training. It is about crafting an ecosystem that equips entrepreneurs with the requisite tools to build and succeed,” she emphasized, highlighting the programme’s multifaceted approach.

This includes practical training in business planning, financial management, digital literacy, customer service, and sustainability strategies, complemented by mentorship, start-up kits, and access to markets and networks.

The Vice President charged the 10,000 beneficiaries, meticulously selected through a transparent process, to remain steadfast in their pursuit of entrepreneurial excellence.

“You are not here by chance. You were chosen because you demonstrated potential, determination, and readiness to embrace the task ahead,” she reminded them, urging resilience in the face of challenges.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang expressed gratitude to the programme’s partners, including the National Youth Authority, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, the British Council, and the University of Ghana Business School, for their collaborative efforts in bringing the initiative to fruition. This landmark programme highlights the government’s commitment to prioritizing the welfare and prosperity of Ghanaian Youth.
