Under a three-phase pilot, a total of 114 agriculture entrepreneurs have undergone a 4- week of intensive and practical training targeted at youth in the Ashanti and Western regions of Ghana.

The four year SNV-GrEEn  project with the United Nations Capital Development Fund is funded by the European Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) for Africa and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The training was targeted at strengthening Agri-business. 

In supporting skills development, SNV Ghana through its GrEEn Project, partnered with the Kwadaso Agricultural College and the Ghana Education Service to train and award a national General Agriculture certificate to entrepreneurs in the agriculture value chain. 

Vice Principal of the Kwaadaso Agric College, Dr. Isaq Shaibu underscored the significance of such initiatives.

The skills development adviser of SNV Ghana, Dorcas Hammond says the programme is to nurture the skills of participants in Agriculture development. 

Participants who benefitted from the programme said, it will help contribute to the growth of their farm works.
