Earlier today, 9th February 2026, the Chief Executive Officer, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, and Management Team of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) engaged the Venture Capital Trust Fund (VCTF) in a strategic discussion aimed at strengthening collaboration in support of the Adwumawura Programme.
The discussion formed part of NEIP’s broader efforts to deepen partnerships that enhance access to sustainable financing and strengthen the long-term viability of businesses supported under the programme.
It focused on identifying practical pathways through which Adwumawura beneficiaries can be better positioned to access funding that supports growth, scalability, and long-term impact.
Both institutions acknowledged that while access to finance remains critical, the ultimate objective is the development of sustainable enterprises capable of creating decent jobs and contributing meaningfully to Ghana’s economic transformation.
As a key member of the Grant Management Committee, the Venture Capital Trust Fund reaffirmed its commitment to the success of the Adwumawura Programme.
The VCTF also reported that it will establish a dedicated Adwumawura Fund targeted at high-impact businesses emerging from the programme. This initiative represents a significant step toward ensuring continuity of support for beneficiaries beyond the initial grant phase.
The Chief Executive Officer of NEIP expressed appreciation to the Venture Capital Trust Fund for its openness, commitment, and continued partnership. He reaffirmed NEIP’s readiness to collaborate closely with VCTF to align institutional strengths, resources, and expertise in advancing the objectives of the Adwumawura Programme.
He reiterated NEIP’s commitment to working with key stakeholders to ensure that entrepreneurship support in Ghana goes beyond short-term interventions and delivers lasting impact.
The engagement with the Venture Capital Trust Fund marks another important milestone in NEIP’s journey to empower entrepreneurs, strengthen businesses, and create sustainable livelihoods for Ghanaians through the Adwumawura Programme.
This initiative contributes directly to H.E. John D. Mahama’s RESET AGENDA, which is transforming Ghana’s economy and creating decent job opportunities for the youth.
