Resilient Ghana, a youth-inspired and community-driven capacity building programme, has assembled 803 youth from the African sub-region based in Ghana.

This is to empower entrepreneurial youth to identify, create, and present innovative solutions to real life problems post Covid-19.

The project dubbed ‘Resilient Ghana Mentorship’ session gave participants access to a pool of mentors from industries including; Agriculture & Agri-business, IT, Education, Finance/Banking and Consulting etc., to move proteges’ ideas into world-class practicable solutions for implementation.

Speaking on the focus of the 6th edition of the mentorship session, Nana Serwa Arthur, CEO of Resilient Ghana, said, “This year’s mentoring sessions were delivered as virtual workshops, webinars, seminars and one-on-one meetings were mentors, who are seeking to change mindsets, assisted their protégés to drive themselves with ambition, self-motivation and build their own ‘internal engine’, to measure success with tangible, empirical metrics”.

Nana Serwa said the Ministry of Finance supports the Resilient Ghana initiative as a critical programme that aligns with the Government’s effort to build human capital for a resilient Ghana. 

“In the wake of the dire effects that Covid-19 has had on the Ghanaian economy, we needed to create a platform such as this to develop solutions to improve the socio-economic landscape of mother Ghana and the entrepreneurial youth in Africa.”

The Resilient Ghana initiative adopts a two-pronged approach: ‘A Mentorship Programme and A Challenge Event’.
