The Diaspora Africa Forum (DAF) has pledged to support Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku- Agyeman with the training of 20 young women in skills development and entrepreneurship.
"The DAF, through the DAF Youth Empowerment and Training Centre, (DAFYETC) pledges 20 scholarships to the Vice President and will be working with her office to help support youth empowerment in Ghana," Dr Erieka Bennett, Founder DAF, said.
She made this known when she led a high-level delegation of female ambassadors in Ghana to the Office of the Vice President, in collaboration with Ms Imane Ouaadil, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco and Dean of Women Ambassadors in Ghana.
The visit was to establish mutual collaboration and future support in diverse ways ranging from youth empowerment and digital inclusion.
Dr Bennet said DAFYETC aims to support the Ghanaian youth in acquiring digital skills and enhancing their employability, adding that it was open to receive young people for training.
