Resume

The overall objective of HEfD Phase 2 is to improve living conditions in Northern Ghana by improving conditions for young challenged Entrepreneurs. In doing this, it will promote local economic growth and thus help to fight poverty and inequality. At the same time, the intervention will support the sustainability of individual businesses. Additionally, the project will be building a sustainable rights-based organization called Northern Startups Network (NSN) of 150 young entrepreneurs. The organization’s goal is to engage the young entrepreneurs (members) to strengthen their awareness and capacity to engage in advocacy. It will give them a more powerful voice facing the political system. The organization will create smaller networks based on its entrepreneurial areas. These small networks will develop personal capacity, experience sharing, group monitoring, courage to share ideas and challenges, etc.
