The engagement took place during UHASโ€™s Entrepreneurship Summit, hosted by the Fred N. Binka School of Public Health. The event formed part of activities leading to the launch of the universityโ€™s 10-year Nkabom Project, aligned with the Mastercard Foundationโ€™s Young Africa Works strategy. The Agri-Impact team included Sena Asare (Vegetable Production Specialist and Tomato Value Chain Lead), Godwin Akweiteh Allotey (Communication and Knowledge Management Lead), Hillary Kofi Adoboe, and Marcellina Ayele Kporheme. Mr. Asare led the presentation, detailing how the HAPPY Program is creating dignified and fulfilling employment for youth across the agricultural value chain. He encouraged students to consider entrepreneurship in agribusiness as a viable alternative to limited white-collar job opportunities. He also served as a panelist and judge during the Studentsโ€™ Entrepreneurship Pitch Competition, where several teams presented innovative agribusiness ideas with strong potential for growth and impact. The HAPPY Program is a four-year initiative launched in December 2024 by the Mastercard Foundation in partnership with Agri-Impact Limited. It aims to transition 326,000 Ghanaian youth aged 15โ€“35 into meaningful employment within the poultry, rice, tomato, and soybean value chains. So far, the program has engaged over 165,000 youth nationwide. The visit to UHAS is part of Agri-Impactโ€™s ongoing efforts to raise awareness and inspire youth to participate in modern, profitable, and sustainable agriculture.
