The youth of Ghana are not just the future; they are the architects of today.

To inspire through dialogue: Facilitate vibrant discussions, knowledge-sharing, and capacity-building to craft effective youth development initiatives, driven by stakeholder engagement and global best practices.
To innovate through opportunity: Identify bold intervention opportunities and co-create solutions to advance youth employment, skills development, and enterprise creation, ensuring every young Ghanaian has a seat at the table.
Lead For Ghana’s Role: Empowering the Architects of Tomorrow
Lead For Ghana is stepping forward with unwavering commitment to support MYDE’s mission. Our role is to:
Provide visionary guidance: Offer high-level technical and strategic advisory support to amplify the impact of MYDE’s initiatives, from strategy and program design to institutional capacity-building.
Mobilize resources for impact: Collaborate to identify opportunities, forge partnerships, and share best practices to strengthen youth-focused programs at national and local levels.
Share knowledge, spark innovation: Leverage Lead For Ghana’s extensive research and sector-specific expertise to pinpoint key entry points for youth development, particularly in transformative sectors like education.
A Shared Passion for Ghana’s Youth
Daniel Dotse, Group CEO of Lead For Africa, captures the heart of this partnership: “At Lead For Africa, and by extension Lead For Ghana, we are driven by a passion for the youth of Ghana and their long-term development. It’s only natural for us to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, helping to shape policies and programs that uplift young people across the nation. We are here—at the forefront or behind the scenes—to ensure this ministry succeeds in transforming lives.”
Designing a Future That’s Uniquely Ghanaian
This partnership is a clarion call to Ghana’s youth: your ideas, your courage, your dreams are the blueprint for a brighter future. Together, Lead For Ghana and MYDE are building a platform where every young person can thrive—where innovation meets opportunity, and ambition fuels progress.
The future of Ghana isn’t something that happens to us. It’s something we create. And with one million jobs on the horizon by 2028, we’re not just building careers—we’re empowering a generation to think differently, act boldly, and write Ghana’s greatest chapter yet.
