MASO is a five year programme, focused on creating employment opportunities for the youth (aged 18-25) in Ghana’s cocoa communities.
The Youth Forward Initiative learning partner in Ghana has released a Learning Diary on the MASO programme. MASO is part of the Youth Forward Initiative which is supported by the Mastercard Foundation.
The Youth Forward Initiative learning partnership works across the programme to develop an evidence-based understanding of the needs of young people in Ghana and how the different approaches and contexts interact to meet these needs and shape employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. It comprises the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) in the United Kingdom, Participatory Development Associates (PDA) in Ghana; Development Research and Training (DRT) Uganda.
Participatory Development Associates conducted in-depth interviews with selected MASO youth beneficiaries to develop a Learning Diary in order to understand the needs of those youth in 2017.
This report was collated during a learning field visit to MASO project communities and highlights the profiles and learning of some project beneficiaries.
