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 support young entrepreneurs with the financial resources and skills needed to build and expand sustainable businesses.
The Adwumawura Programme forms a key part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen Ghana’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by equipping young people with funding and capacity-building support to thrive in competitive markets.
The initiative is also designed to promote inclusivity, with a strong focus on supporting women-led businesses and ensuring equal opportunities in enterprise development.
The government says that through targeted financial support and mentorship, the programme will help create a more business-friendly environment that encourages 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.
