CAMFED Ghana and the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at enhancing employment opportunities for young women and persons living with disabilities across the country.
The official signing ceremony took place at the YEA headquarters in Accra today, where both parties expressed optimism about the partnership's potential to drive inclusive development through targeted job placements, skills training, and entrepreneurship support.
Chief Executive Officer of CAMFED Ghana, Fairuza Safian, described the MoU as a pivotal move toward closing the gap in access to employment for marginalised groups, particularly girls and young women. "Our primary aim with this partnership is to ensure that the girl child and persons living with disabilities are not excluded from the many employment opportunities that YEA provides," she said.
Safian further lauded YEA for its ongoing support of young women's professional development, noting that the agency has been instrumental in helping many young females transition from education into sustainable careers. "We commend YEA for their efforts in guiding young women into viable career paths and supporting their dreams," she added.
