Why it matters
This partnership aims to reduce youth unemployment and increase foreign exchange earnings by positioning Ghana as a global hub for digital and outsourcing services.
The 24-Hour Economy Secretariat and the Business Outsourcing Services Association of Ghana (BOSAG) have outlined plans to develop Ghana's outsourcing talent pool through strategic investments in skills development, infrastructure and market access.
The initiative, aimed at positioning Ghana as a leading destination for outsourcing and digital services, was highlighted at a BOSAG roundtable in Accra, which brought together industry leaders, development partners and government officials to brainstorm on how Ghana's human resources could be outsourced.
Speaking at the event on Tuesday, Mr Augustus Goosie Tanoh, Presidential Advisor on the 24-Hour Economy, described the outsourcing sector as a key driver of employment creation and foreign exchange earnings.
The sector could help address unemployment among young people by creating pathways that connect education, skills development and employment opportunities.
"Our sourcing addresses that gap directly. It hires educated youth, trains them to international standards and pays them from export earnings," he said.
