In recognition of its outstanding efforts in youth advocacy, Africa Skills Hub Foundation (ASH) has been adjudged as the Most Outstanding Community Advocate of Youth Empowerment at the Ghana Outstanding Community Leadership Conference and Awards.

This honour shines a spotlight on Africa Skills Hub’s transformative work in youth development and economic inclusion across Ghana, from rural farming communities to emerging urban hubs.

The organisation's bold, community-driven model equips young women and people with practical skills, entrepreneurship support, and leadership tools to thrive in today's economy.

“We are honoured to receive the Most Outstanding Community Advocate of Youth Empowerment Award,” said Daniel Amoako Antwi, Executive Director of Africa Skills Hub Foundation.

With initiatives spanning over 16 regions, the organisation has trained approximately 16,000 youth and 13,000 women in fields such as agribusiness, digital marketing, climate-smart farming, and innovation-led entrepreneurship, resulting in a reported 60% increase in jobs created and employment among programme participants over the past nine years.

Africa Skills Hub’s programmes blend hands-on learning with participants through extensive aftercare services, including regulatory, IT, financial, legal, market access, and intellectual property services.

ASH also manages a dedicated micro-credit fund that supports youth and women-led businesses, affirming its commitment to addressing structural barriers through evidence-based solutions.

Sharing his impression on the recognition, Mr. Antwi hailed Ghanaian youth for their determination and commended the foundation’s partners.

“We dedicate this achievement to all the young people we’ve worked with, the communities we’ve served, and our partners who continue to support our shared vision for inclusive growth. We remain committed to building skills and creating opportunities throughout Ghana”.

Looking ahead, Africa Skills Hub remains committed to scaling its impact through strategic partnerships, digital innovations, and inclusive enterprise accelerators tailored to the growing needs of young Africans.

This recognition affirms the value of our work and strengthens our resolve to deepen opportunities for youth and women across Ghana.

Africa Skills Hub Foundation (ASH) is an enterprise support organisation based in Ghana that creates economic and skill-based opportunities for African’s youth, women and SMEs.
