Fidelity Bank Ghana, in partnership with German Development Cooperation and the European Union has successfully concluded the Short-Term Skills Training Project for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in the Ahafo and Bono East regions.
This initiative, part of Fidelity Bank's Empower ALL program was implemented in collaboration with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ-Ghana) and provided essential vocational and financial literacy training to over 230 participants, exceeding the initial target of 150, aiming to enhance their employability, business acumen, and financial independence.
The project, a key component of the broader Ghana-Germany Joint Action on Jobs, Migration, and Development (JMD), sought to integrate PwDs into local economies by equipping them with market-relevant skills and access to financial services.
The training, delivered across several communities including Prang, Yeji, Atebubu, Goaso, Hwidiem, and Bechem, combined practical entrepreneurship education with financial literacy, enabling participants to develop sustainable livelihoods.
