Yango Delivery, a part of global tech company Yango Group, held a major event for its partners’ couriers that included safety training and an awards ceremony to celebrate top performing couriers.

The event brought together about 400 top performing couriers of Yango partners who were honoured with various awards including high end smartphones, award plaques, fuel coupons, hampers and special souvenirs. Three outstanding couriers were rewarded with brand new motorbikes each. In an effort to improve the financial literacy of partner’s couriers, the event hosted facilitators who took attendees through various modules on building healthy savings and investment culture.

The event took place in Accra on Monday, November 11th, 2024. The highlight of the event was the awards ceremony and the launch of the partner’s couriers insurance program. Effective November 2024 all partners’ couriers will benefit from a personal insurance cover in case of health related incidents while fulfilling orders with the Yango app.

Speaking at the event, Emmanuel Koduah, Country Manager of Yango Delivery in Ghana, acknowledged the importance of road safety for all and the central role played by partners’ couriers in the positive growth trajectory of the delivery sector in the country: "Our goal is to build on successful partnerships and contribute to the advancement of safety and industry standards. That is why it is so important for us to recognize the efforts of partners’ couriers who collaborate with our platform. Yango is committed to road safety, acknowledging it as a shared societal responsibility that requires everyone to play a role. In collaboration with Provident Insurance, we have introduced specialized free accident insurance to help protect couriers from potential financial losses in case of service-related incidents."

Commenting on the launch of the insurance program, Mr. Ken Doh, Managing Director of Provident Insurance, stated, "We are thrilled to partner with Yango to deliver innovative insurance products that cater to the unique needs of the delivery tech industry. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to providing tailored solutions and to enhancing the overall confidence to all road users."

Throughout this year Yango has held several events to support partners’ couriers, recognize their immense contributions and to provide them with useful information about road safety.
During the recent event in March the top 100 of partners’ couriers were awarded for their effort while using a platform.
