Thread:National Youth Policy and Advocacy (2)

I am Kafui Aheto from Ghana. I am an Educationist by profession and an Educational Advocate by passion.

Ghana has a national youth policy that came into being in was signed 2010.

Entrepreneurial development, among other factors, propels and accelerates socio-economic development. However, its development is limited to a small section of the youth. Government realizes the need to mainstream entrepreneurial development into school curricula to give it the necessary impetus. In Ghana, such entrepreneurial development is earmarked to be achieved through:


 * 1) integration of entrepreneurial skills into youth development activities.
 * 2) facilitation of access to credit for the youth.
 * 3) creation of corps of young entrepreneurs to serve as role models.
 * 4) celebration of successful young entrepreneurs. (Source: National Youth Policy of Ghana,pg 11 &amp; 12)--Kafuiaheto 21:32, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
