President John Dramani Mahama has presided over the award of grants to 475 beneficiaries under the Adwumawura Programme, reinforcing the government’s commitment to youth empowerment and entrepreneurship development.
The ceremony, held on Thursday, March 19, marks a significant step in efforts to provide young entrepreneurs with the financial support and skills needed to establish and expand sustainable businesses.
The Adwumawura Programme is a key component of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen Ghana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by equipping young people with both funding and capacity-building support to thrive in competitive markets.
The initiative also promotes inclusivity, with a strong focus on supporting women-led businesses and ensuring equal opportunities in enterprise development.
According to the government, targeted financial assistance and mentorship under the programme will help create a more business-friendly environment that fosters innovation, sustainability, and long-term economic growth.
The latest disbursement is expected to enable beneficiaries to scale up their operations, create jobs, and contribute to national development, particularly in sectors driven by youth innovation.
President Mahama reiterated that empowering young entrepreneurs remains central to the government’s agenda, as it seeks to address unemployment and drive inclusive economic transformation.
