Ghana Impact Report 2025

In a rapidly shifting global economy, the power of purposeful collaboration and bold innovation has never been more critical. At Generation Ghana, we believe that while talent is universal, opportunity is not—and this report captures how, together with our partners, we are working to close that gap. The urgency of our mission is clear: only 10% of graduates in Ghana secure employment within their first year. Many face up to a decade of joblessness. This is not just a statistic—it’s a reflection of systemic barriers that delay dreams and deepen inequality. This report tells the story of how we are confronting these challenges head-on.
Through market-driven skills training, mentorship, and work-readiness support, we are shortening the path from education to employment. The results are tangible: young people launching careers they once thought were out of reach, women entering digital spaces where they’ve long been underrepresented, and communities gaining new tools for economic mobility.
Our partners have been instrumental in this journey. As Marine Houmeau, COO of Azubi Africa, shares:
“The GROW program is already making a visible impact—learners are engaged, mindset shifts are happening…. The combination of strong content, learner commitment, and structured support is setting a solid foundation for job-readiness.”
The impact of the program is not only experienced by our learners but by coalition partner organisations as well. As Femi Adewunmi, Programs Director at MEST Africa, notes:
“GROW has enabled us to train youth in essential digital skills, directly leading to employment opportunities and expanding our reach…. It’s also strengthened our internal mentorship culture and broadened our tech ecosystem.”
This is a story of adaptation and resilience. As challenges emerged—from evolving job market demands to infrastructure barriers—we remained focused yet flexible, rethinking systems and doubling down on what works.
We invite you to explore the report in full—not just as a reflection of what we’ve done, but as a call to action for what we can achieve together.
