Our project’s aim is to contribute to the cultivation and mainstreaming of a strong grassroots’ female entrepreneurship culture in rural Ghana, where unemployment, underemployment, and job market exploitation/discrimination of females remains persistently rampant. We aim to mobilise, motivate, and capacitate young females and local stakeholders to create better work opportunities for young women. To this end, our project entails piloting a female entrepreneurship and changemaker program across five rural municipalities in the Bono Region of Ghana, which will include the establishment of female entrepreneurial hubs at 5 girls-only senior high schools (SHSs), and that will act as incubation/epicenters of a blueprint for others. This will be complemented by a strategic mobilization and lobby of local stakeholders’ support to the project objectives, which will translate in a localized and deepened long term acceptance & ownership.
