However, it is difficult to assume the views of young people who are beneficiaries or victims of the decisions being made today.

These challenges demanded a new direction and a new approach. This is what informed the Ghana@100 document. The vision for this new direction is informed by the need to establish a strong economy, that creates opportunities, inspires people to start businesses, stimulates expansion of existing businesses, and, ultimately, leads to the creation of jobs, increased economic growth and higher incomes.
