About 50 young women have received intensive training in broiler production under the Harnessing Agriculture Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program, a collaborative initiative between the Mastercard Foundation and Agri-Impact Limited.
The trainees, mobilized by the National Service Authority (NSA), gathered at the NSA Farm in Papao, Haatso, for an intensive session on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
This latest cohort brings the total number of women trained in broiler production at the facility in the past two weeks to 80.
As part of efforts to enhance the effectiveness of the National Service Authority’s (NSA) role in the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program, a strategic meeting was held with the leadership of Agri-Impact Limited, a leading agribusiness firm.

In just one year, the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program has become a beacon of hope for thousands of young Ghanaians, proving that agriculture can be a transformative career path.
Rolled out in December 2023, this four-year initiative by the Mastercard Foundation in partnership with Agri-Impact Limited and a consortium of eight partners has facilitated dignified, fulfilling work opportunities for over 94,000 young people across Ghana’s agricultural sector within a year.
The staff of Agri-Impact Limited recently conducted a field trip to several communities participating in the HAPPY Program across the country. The purpose of the trip was to monitor the program's progress and gather valuable feedback for review and improvement.
The visit focused on assessing the impact of the project in selected Catholic Relief Services (CRS) project communities, including Kpulgini, Kulguduli, Wapuli, and Garimata Northern Region with particular attention to input quality, distribution effectiveness, and overall project success.
As a young Ghanaian with a passion for agriculture and a fresh degree in Agricultural Biotechnology, I am incredibly inspired by the HAPPY (Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth) Program. This program has provided thousands of youth with dignified work opportunities across four value chains: rice, poultry, tomato, and soybean, within the agribusiness space.
The consortium implementing the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity (HAPPY) Program celebrated rural women last week at Challu in the Sissala East Municipality, Upper West Region, as part of the International Day of Rural Women.
