Investing in women-owned businesses strategic necessity for Ghana’s sustainable development, says GEA CEO
Speaking at the maiden Women in Business dialogue series in Accra on Tuesday (26 March) Yankey-Ayeh urged the country to provide equal opportunities for women entrepreneurs to thrive
On his part, the chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, Daniel McKorley, noted that the economy cannot achieve meaningful growth when it excludes over 50.7% of the population from the business landscape.
“When we help women to succeed, we’re investing in the future of our society. We’re creating a world where everyone has an equal chance to pursue their dreams, and where everyone’s potential is given the opportunity to be realised. It’s simply the right thing to do.”
Godwin Acquaye, CEO of the B&FT, also urged participants to actively engage and share the power of women-owned businesses to propel Ghana into a future of prosperity, equality and sustainable development.
