In a significant step towards inclusive entrepreneurship, the leadership of the Persons with Disability (PWD) Desk paid a courtesy visit to the Acting CEO of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Mr. Eric Adjei, at his office earlier today. The meeting provided a platform for discussions on innovation, business expansion, and the economic empowerment of persons with disabilities in Ghana.
The delegation showcased their entrepreneurial ventures, which include weaving, beading, detergent production, and other innovative businesses. Their efforts exemplify how persons with disabilities are leveraging creativity and skills to build sustainable livelihoods. Mr. Adjei expressed admiration for their resilience and dedication to business growth, stating that their work is a testament to the untapped potential within Ghana’s disability community.
Recognizing the challenges faced by PWD entrepreneurs, the NEIP CEO assured the delegation of his commitment to developing tailored initiatives that will provide financial and technical support to scale up their businesses. He emphasized that NEIP is committed to fostering an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem where every Ghanaian, regardless of physical ability, has equal access to opportunities.
This initiative aligns with the broader vision of President John Mahama, who envisions a Ghana where entrepreneurship and innovation serve as the driving forces of national development. His vision underscores the importance of creating an enabling environment where marginalized groups, including persons with disabilities, can actively contribute to economic growth and job creation.
The meeting concluded on a positive note, with both parties expressing optimism about future collaborations. The engagement marks a crucial step toward ensuring that entrepreneurship in Ghana is inclusive, diverse, and accessible to all, empowering persons with disabilities to thrive as business leaders and innovators.
