BADEA: Let’s empower women, youth for resilient, prosperous societies – Akufo-Addo

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has made a compelling call for the empowerment of women and youth to build resilient and prosperous societies.

He emphasised the crucial role of women and youth in the national development.

President Akufo-Addo stated that their empowerment is not just a matter of social justice but also a significant factor in economic growth and societal resilience.

He was speaking at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA) and the launch of the Arab-Africa financial consortium in Accra on Sunday.

“There is still a significant gender gap and high youth unemployment in many of our countries. We must take bold and decisive actions to address these issues.

“This includes promoting gender equality, supporting women-owned businesses and creating opportunities for young people to gain meaningful employment and be self-employed…By empowering women and youth, we can build more resilient and prosperous societies.”
