In his maiden state of the nation address earlier today, February 27, 2025, President John Mahama announced the rollout of the “Adwuma Wura Program”, an initiative designed to support young businesses and entrepreneurs across Ghana.
This program is a fulfillment of his campaign promise to prioritize youth empowerment and job creation.
The “Adwuma Wura Program” aims to create, track, and monitor young businesses annually, with a special focus on the youth.
In its first phase, the top 2,000 implementable business proposals will receive comprehensive support, including:
- Business Development Training: Equipping young entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in business.
- Mentorship: Pairing young entrepreneurs with experienced business leaders and mentors.
- Access to Start-up Capital: Providing financial support to help young entrepreneurs turn their business ideas into reality.
- Marketing and Networking: Offering platforms for young entrepreneurs to showcase their products and services, and connect with potential customers and partners.
This initiative is expected to have a significant impact on Ghana’s economy, as it will help to create jobs, stimulate innovation, and promote entrepreneurship among young people.
By supporting young businesses and entrepreneurs, the “Adwuma Wura Program” will contribute to the country’s economic growth and development.
As President Mahama emphasized, the success of this program will depend on the active participation of young entrepreneurs and the private sector.
By working together, Ghanaians can create a vibrant and thriving economy that benefits all citizens.
