Student Entrepreneurship Week in Ghana Kicks Off On July 26 – July 28 At British Council

Stars From All Nations (SFAN) is creating the first-ever Student Entrepreneurship Week in Ghana in July which will provide a platform for thought leadership on how to build and grow sustainable businesses. For the event, a host of major players will be giving talks on Entrepreneurship for audience goers.

Here are some interesting stats from SFAN:

1. Almost half of the 10 million graduates churned out of over 668 universities in Africa yearly do not get jobs (Kelvin Balogun, President of Coca-Cola, Central, East and West Africa).
2. The youth population in Africa is expected to double to 400 million people by 2045 (the World Bank).
3. African youths are crossing the Sahara to get to the Mediterranean due to a lack of jobs. As a result, approximately 500 drownings are happening every single week (AfDB).
4. In Ghana, over 1.2 million persons 15 years and older are estimated to be unemployed and active job seekers. 10.5% of these unemployed persons end up going into entrepreneurship when they can’t find jobs. However, over 75% of startups fail within 3 years (Stats Ghana).

About The Event
