WASHINGTON D.C. — April 24, 2025 — The World Bank has pledged its full support to Ghana’s fight against youth unemployment through a new Growth and Jobs Strategy aimed at creating opportunities for the more than 500,000 young people entering the job market each year.
The commitment was announced after a high-level meeting at the World Bank headquarters between Anna Bjerde, the Bank’s Managing Director of Operations, and Ghana’s Finance Minister, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson (MP).
The two leaders discussed collaboration on the design and execution of the strategy, which focuses on job creation, skills development, and inclusive economic growth.
“This initiative reflects our shared priority of unlocking opportunities for young people,” Bjerde stated.
“We are proud to work with Ghana on a strategy that will create jobs and build a stronger, more resilient economy.”
Dr. Forson expressed optimism about the partnership, describing it as a bold step toward tackling Ghana’s growing youth unemployment crisis.
“This partnership is a major step forward in our efforts to provide decent and sustainable jobs for our youth,” he said.
The new Growth and Jobs Strategy is expected to be rolled out in phases and will target key sectors of the economy with high employment potential. Additional details are expected to be released by the Ministry of Finance in the coming weeks.
