The Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI) in collaboration with the European Union and the Presbyterian University of Ghana has trained over 30 young entrepreneurs and agricultural cooperatives in sustainable agribusiness practices. The initiative is part of the Green Growth Ghana Project, which aims to promote a green and circular economy, address unemployment and poverty, and empower women and youth in the agro-forestry value chains. The training was held in Tamale from January 30-31, 2025, and attracted 60% women participants from the Upper West, Upper East, and Northern Regions. The program focused on areas such as cooperative management, sustainable agricultural practices, financial literacy, market access, and entrepreneurship and business planning. The event aimed to promote decent work and entrepreneurship in the green and circular economy, aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The project’s success demonstrates the GNCCI’s and European Union’s commitment to supporting women and youth as agents of economic transformation and sustainable development.
Building a sustainable future, GNCCI & EU collaborate to drive a green economy and empower the next generation of young leaders.
