Africa Street MBA Accelerator Programme to empower young entrepreneurs in Ghana and Africa to become global giants. The Programme which was launched yesterday, April 18, 2024 seeks to provide an integrated, regional support for startups and small businesses in the country.
It aims to assist marginalized groups, such as women, individuals from impoverished backgrounds, and those with minimal education, who have unique business concepts or already established businesses.
According to Mr. King Awudu Wellington, founder of Africa Street MBA in his address during the launch said the programme promises to offer an opportunity for disadvantaged youth from poor backgrounds and who have limited education, but with innovative ideas and existing businesses, to gain access to a top-notch business development
program.
“It is for this reason that the Africa Street MBA has been developed to impact young people with world-class business knowledge based on top MBA curriculum and entrepreneurial course content.”

Also in his address during the launch, Mr. Wellington mentioned that the Africa Street MBA Accelerator would decrease the high startup failure rate in the country, and ultimately the African continent. Additionally, it was created to close the gap in business knowledge.
“We are taking business knowledge from the formal sector into the informal sector; from the corporate world into the street. So many young entrepreneurs in Ghana and Africa would be empowered to become global giants.”
The Programmes Manager of KGL Foundation reiterated the foundation’s dedication to the socio-economic development of young people and Ghanaians as a whole.
Continuing, he said his company, KGL Foundation had faith in youth development and empowerment which he believes are crucial for achieving national, sustainable and personal advancement.
Nii Ankonu Anoorbah- Sarpei, Programmes Manager of KGL Foundation in his interview with the media expressed confidence that the partnership between KGL Foundation and Africa Street MBA would have a positive impact on the lives of young individuals.
This impact, he said will particularly be on women and individuals with limited education from disadvantaged backgrounds, by providing employment opportunities and support systems for innovation and new businesses.
