A community leader in the Nabdam District is calling on young people to take full advantage of a newly introduced agricultural initiative designed to boost income and reduce poverty.
Assembly man for Kugri Kotintabig in the Nabdam district, Joseph Yempusak Nyagre made the appeal during the launch of an input shop under the Boost-To-Bloom project, led by Agrihouse Foundation in partnership with Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) and the Mastercard Foundation. An agricultural support program targeting rural communities.
Nyagre said the project represents a significant step toward economic empowerment, particularly for youth in remote areas who face limited access to farming resources.
“I want to plead with my community members, especially the young girls and boys, to take this opportunity and utilize it to our benefit,” he said.
He emphasized that proper management and active participation in the initiative would translate into improved income generation for households.
The project aims to provide farmers with easier access to essential agricultural inputs within their community, eliminating the need for long-distance travel to nearby towns.
Nyagre highlighted the geographical challenges faced by residents, noting that communities like Kugri Kotintabig are often isolated from major commercial centers.
“This program has come at the right time and will go a long way to support us whenever we have financial needs,” he said.
The initiative is part of broader efforts by development partners to strengthen agribusiness in northern Ghana, with a focus on youth engagement, food security and sustainable livelihoods.
