Ghana: The Camfed Scholars Entrepreneurship Fund - Catalyst for Young Women's Empowerment

press release

Successive governments in Ghana have designed and implemented various employment and entrepreneurship interventions for the youth. This is due to the notion that creating sustainable opportunities for the youth serve as a vehicle for ensuring they are able to access the means for sustainable livelihoods.

Much as the efforts of governments are appreciated, it is widely acknowledged that governments alone cannot address all the livelihood challenges confronting the youth. It will take the concerted and coordinated efforts of government, the private sector, and civil society to ensure that employment and entrepreneurship interventions are tailored to the needs of the youth and the nation at large. It is in light of the above that the role and contribution of civil society and NGOs become important in complimenting the efforts of government.
