A Ghc10 million ($2.6m) youth Fund set up to help Ghana�s young startup entrepreneurs, will be disbursed on merit, the country�s President has said.
John Mahama told an audience in the national capital, Accra, at an event to mark International Youth Day on Tuesday that there will be no political bias in the disbursement of the Youth Enterprise Support (YES) Fund.
Mahama is billed to launch the Fund Tuesday evening in fulfilment of a 2012 campaign promise.
The Fund is intended to help young �brilliant� entrepreneurs turn their job creation ideas into reality, so they become job creators rather than job seekers.
Mr Mahama said the Fund will be used to train young entrepreneurs, as well as provide capital and mentorship for them.
