For at støtte op om videregående uddannelse i Nordghana søger projektet at styrke lokale studenterorganisationer på University for Development Studies. Projektet har et dobbelt fokus på dels at styrke studenterorganisationerne på de videregående uddannelser og give dem kapaciteterne til at tale de studerendes sag over for institutionernes ledelser og relevante myndigheder, og dels at støtte op at skabe en stærkere kobling mellem uddannelse og erhverv ved at facilitere studenterorganisationernes engagement i problemstillingen.
