Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has reaffirmed the Mahama administration's steadfast dedication to fostering inclusive national development and economic empowerment for all citizens during a meeting with the Ghanaian community in Iowa, USA.
Addressing a gathering of mainly young and dynamic Ghanaians, she highlighted the administration's fundamental philosophy of elevating the living standards of every citizen. With unrelenting passion, the Vice President emphasized a deliberate policy focus on amplifying the voices of marginalized and disadvantaged populations, pledging to harness every available resource to empower those who have been historically disenfranchised.
Her international engagement, which coincided with her participation in the distinguished Norman Borlaug International Dialogue, provided a platform for her to connect with the diaspora and outline key economic priorities for Ghana's future prosperity.
She made a firm pledge for job creation, aligning with the aspirations of Ghana's burgeoning youth population. This vision for employment is inextricably linked with strategic economic growth, specifically targeting the development of the country's vast agribusiness potential and ensuring sustainable support mechanisms for small and medium-scale enterprises, the bedrock of the economy.
In a significant declaration, Professor Opoku-Agyemang unveiled concrete plans to promote and support female entrepreneurship, announcing the imminent launch of the Women's Development Bank. This pioneering financial institution is designed to provide vital support, funding, and resources tailored to empower and advance female-led enterprises across the country, thereby catalyzing economic growth and development.
