Prez Mahama empowers 475 young entrepreneurs with Adwumawura grants

President John Dramani Mahama has presided over the award of grants to 475 young entrepreneurs under the Adwumawura Programme, in a move aimed at supporting youth-led businesses and tackling unemployment.

The ceremony, held on Thursday, March 19, brought together beneficiaries from across the country, many of whom are looking to either start new ventures or expand existing ones. The initiative provides financial support alongside mentorship to help young people build sustainable businesses.

Government officials say the programme is part of a broader effort to strengthen entrepreneurship in Ghana by equipping young people with the skills and resources needed to succeed in competitive markets. The support is expected to help beneficiaries grow their businesses and create jobs.

The Adwumawura Programme also places emphasis on inclusivity, with a focus on supporting women-led enterprises and ensuring equal access to opportunities. Officials believe this approach will help promote innovation and long-term economic growth.

President Mahama reiterated that empowering young entrepreneurs remains a key priority, noting that initiatives like this are essential to driving economic transformation and creating opportunities for the country’s growing youth population.
