Ghana plays a key role in African leadership. It was the first country in colonial Africa to achieve its independence in 1957, and is home to world leaders, such as Kofi Annan, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and former UN Secretary General.

Rapid population growth amongst the youth demographic in Ghana has made access to education and employment training opportunities increasingly difficult. Young women face many additional challenges, with less than 60% finishing primary school and the rate of HIV infection being twice as high amongst young women as that of their male peers aged 14 to 24 years.
