Ashesi University has joined the Nkabom Collaborative, an initiative by McGill University in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, Association of Ghana Industries, and five other universities. The initiative aims to transform food and nutrition systems through youth leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
The Nkabom Collaborative integrates experiential learning beyond traditional, theory-based education. It seeks to equip young people with practical skills and credentials to thrive in employment or entrepreneurship within the nutrition and agri-food sectors.
At its core, the initiative prioritizes inclusivity. It seeks to empower young women, internally displaced persons, and individuals with disabilities with equal access to opportunities. Over the next decade, Ashesi’s engagement in the Nkabom Collaborative will empower many young people to drive sustainable development in Ghana’s agricultural landscape.
