A group of 19 young women between the ages of 15 and 35 have completed a hands-on training in rice and soybean processing, equipping them with practical skills to launch value-added agribusinesses and secure dignified livelihoods.

The three-day training, organized by Newage Agric Solutions, a consortium partner under the Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) Program, took place in Akuse as part of ongoing efforts to promote youth employment and women’s empowerment through agricultural value addition.

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.

The Mastercard Foundation in partnership with Agri-Impact Limited has rolled out an ambitious and transformative program dubbed Harnessing Agricultural Productivity and Prosperity for Youth (HAPPY) to be implemented by eight Implementing Partners including NewAge Agric Solutions, National Service Scheme (NSS), Ghana Cares (MiDA), Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA), Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA), TechnoServe, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Jobberman.
