Accra, June 3, GNA – Africa Skills Hub Foundation (ASH) has been named the Most Outstanding Community Advocate of Youth Empowerment at the Ghana Outstanding Community Leadership Conference and Awards held in Accra.
The award shines a spotlight on Africa Skills Hub’s transformative work in youth development and economic inclusion across Ghana, from rural farming communities to emerging urban hubs.
A statement issued in Accra by Ms Perfect Dadugblor, Communications Officer, ASH said the organisation’s bold,
community-driven model equipped young women and people with practical skills, entrepreneurship support, and leadership tools to thrive in today’s economy.
“We are honoured to receive the Most Outstanding Community Advocate of Youth Empowerment Award,” Mr Daniel Amoako Antwi, Executive Director of Africa Skills Hub Foundation said.
He said they dedicate the achievement to all the young people they have worked with, the communities they have served, and their partners, who continue to support our shared vision for inclusive growth.
“We remain committed to building skills and creating opportunities throughout Ghana,” he added.
He said with initiatives spanning over 16 regions, the organisation had trained
approximately 16,000 youth and 13,000 women in fields such as agribusiness, digital marketing, climate-smart farming, and innovation-led entrepreneurship.
He said this had resulted in a reported 60 per cent increase in jobs created and employment among programme participants over the past nine years.
Africa Skills Hub’s programmes blend hands-on learning with participants through extensive aftercare services, including regulatory, IT, financial, legal, market access, and intellectual property services.
He said ASH also managed a dedicated micro-credit fund that supported youth and women-led businesses, affirming its commitment to addressing structural barriers through evidence-based
solutions.
He said looking ahead, the organisation remained committed to scaling its impact through new partnerships, digital innovations, and inclusive enterprise accelerators tailored to the growing needs of young Africans.
The Executive Director said the recognition reinforced Africa Skills Hub’s commitment to deepening their impact and expanding opportunities for youth and women across Ghana.
