About 166 par­ticipants from the social enterprise sector yesterday took part in the 5th edition of the Ghana Social Enterprise Forum held in Accra.

They included policy makers, government officials, the investor community, academia, research in­stitutions, and social entrepreneurs.

The aim of the forum is to pro­vide a platform for the participants to brainstorm and come up with ways on how to equip the youth with needed skills to enable them to compete on the global market and also contribute to the country's socio-economic growth.

Organised by Social Enterprise Ghana, the forum was under the theme, "Developing skills for impact: Training the next genera­tion of change-makers in Ghana", and had topics on financing, skills development, and regulatory and quality assurance systems.
