Target Impact
WUSC is leading the implementation of the USD47 million Accelerating Change Through InnoVation in Agricultural TVET (ACTIVATE) program. This is in collaboration with two local sub-partners, Social Enterprise Ghana, and Cerath Development Organization, to improve the well-being and resilience of young women and men by strengthening an industry-led demand-driven Agriculture Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) system nationwide in Ghana.
Over five years, the program aims to tackle significant challenges in the agriculture and adjacent sectors, including improving the quality of ATVET instruction, curriculum, and infrastructure. It will address the misalignment of TVET policies and reforms across ministries, bridge the gap between ATVET institutions and industry to better understand workforce requirements, enhance business skills and entrepreneurship support for young agri-preneurs, and build the management capacity of ATVET providers, regulators, and support organizations.
