Young people in Ghana are stepping into one of the most opportunity-rich periods in recent years. The Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment has launched a new digital one-stop platform and mobile app that brings together all youth programmes in one place — from skills training to scholarships, entrepreneurship support, internship placements, start-up funding opportunities, and digital-skills programmes.
For young entrepreneurs, this is a big win. It means easier access to business-development support, government grants, incubation hubs, mentorship, and market-linkage programmes. Sectors like agriculture, tech, fashion, beauty, tourism, creative arts, and small manufacturing continue to offer room for growth.
With inflation dropping and the creative economy expanding through events like December in GH, many SMEs are finding more room to grow. Now is a great time for young people to explore business ideas, digital careers, and innovation-driven ventures.
