About Dansyn ISO’s ACTIVATE
The five-year initiative is led by the World University Services of Canada (WUSC) Ghana. It is in collaboration with the MasterCard Foundation. The initiative is underway.
The project aims to improve the welfare and adaptability of young men and women in Ghana. It will do this by establishing an industry-driven, request-based Agriculture, Technical, and Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) System.
The project focuses on engaging individuals between the ages of 15 and 35, with a special emphasis on women. It also aims to include those with disabilities, refugees, and displaced persons in its efforts.
The project is in progress in the Upper East Region. SE Ghana and WUSC are collaborating on this effort. They are receiving funding from the MasterCard Foundation.
The emphasis on youth, particularly women, is due to their vulnerability. The goal of the project is to empower them and promote self-reliance.
Beneficiaries
According to Dr. Yennube Nang, the recipients will be given allowances to cover their transportation expenses during the three-month training period.
A total of 260 individuals will enlist for this. About 100 specialized in Poultry. Around 80 focused on fabricating agricultural tools. The remaining 80 were involved in software development. We plan to continue recruiting every three months. It is crucial to give ongoing support for young people. This support is especially important for youth and young women who are vulnerable and in need.
The beneficiaries shared their enthusiasm for the training. They eagerly expect acquiring practical skills. These skills will aid them in becoming more productive.
During the orientation, various individuals spoke to the trainees. Among them were a lecturer from Bolgatanga Technical University and the Assembly Member for Anafobisi Electoral Area, Hannah Asanyuure Talata. They emphasized the importance of behaving professionally and utilizing their newly acquired knowledge.
