Adwumawura, 1 Million Coders, And Mahama Health Care Programmes, A New Era for Ghanaians: A Step in the Right Direction
The launch of several social intervention initiatives by President John Dramani Mahama, Adwumawura programme, Work Abroad policy, and Coders programme marks a significant milestone in addressing youth unemployment in Ghana. These initiatives demonstrate a commitment to empowering Ghanaian youths through entrepreneurship, job creation, and skills development training.
Unlike previous administrations of Nana Addo, which often allocated resources without tangible outcomes, the Adwumawura initiative, 100 Million Coders Programme is refreshing. The focus on well-structured Programmes like Adwumawura and Coders showcases a judicious use of resources, aimed at yielding meaningful results.
The Work Abroad policy, implemented through the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), opens doors for Ghanaian youths to explore global job opportunities. This forward-thinking approach will undoubtedly contribute to reducing unemployment and fostering economic growth in Ghana.
The Gallant Cadres of NDC commend His Excellency John Dramani Mahama for his swift and decisive action in tackling youth unemployment. His leadership has instilled confidence in the youth, and we look forward to more innovative policies that align with the Resetting Agenda.These initiatives signal a new era for Ghanaian youth, and we eagerly anticipate the positive impact they will have on our nation’s future. Congratulations to the Mahama government on taking this crucial step toward a brighter future for Ghana’s youth

The Ministry of Education has directed Regional Ministers and District Chief Executives to organize similar events in their local assemblies, enabling donors to contribute to the initiative. Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. Clement Apaak, noted that companies have been invited to participate in the program, with regional and district directors tasked with monitoring the distribution.
