Green Growth Ghana Project Empowers Women and Youth in Upper west Region.
The Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI), in partnership with Presbyterian University Ghana and the EU Delegation in Ghana, launched the "Green Growth Ghana Project" in Wa on October 9, 2024. The initiative is aimed at economically empowering women and youth in the Northern Savannah Regions through the green and circular economy. The project focuses on training and supporting small-scale enterprises in agro-forestry and environmentally sustainable business practices. It aligns with several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including gender equality and climate action. During the event, the GNCCI President, Dr. Clement Osei-Amoako, highlighted the importance of sustainable business practices for addressing challenges like climate change and economic dependence on agriculture. The event also awarded outstanding businesses, with the Naa-Momori Technical Institute receiving sewing machines.
