World Vision Ghana, B&FT Explore Strategic Partnership Opportunities
By Vivian Adu, Communications Officer
The leadership of the Business and Financial Times (B&FT), Ghana’s most widely read and authoritative source of business news and analysis, has paid a courtesy call on the National Director of World Vision Ghana and her leadership team.
The visit marked the beginning of broader strategic engagements aimed at advancing women’s entrepreneurship, promoting youth economic empowerment, and strengthening responsible digital participation across communities.
Led by its Chief Executive Officer, Dr Godwin Acquaye, the B&FT delegation held discussions focused on identifying shared priorities and potential areas of collaboration. The conversations centred on how both institutions can align their mandates to foster sustainable development and inclusive economic growth in Ghana.
During the engagement, B&FT highlighted several of its flagship platforms, including the Women in Business Dialogue Series, designed to empower and amplify the voices of women entrepreneurs. The team also introduced the Youth Economic Forum, an extension of the Ghana Economic Forum, which seeks to enhance youth participation in national economic dialogue and decision-making processes.
Dr Acquaye further outlined the organisation’s expanding digital platforms, noting their potential as channels for disseminating development-focused content and engaging broader audiences on critical issues relevant to World Vision Ghana’s work.
Welcoming the delegation, World Vision Ghana’s National Director, Dr Tinah Mukunda, reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to empowerment, particularly for women and young people. She also raised concerns about the increasing risks within the digital space, especially for vulnerable youth, and underscored the need for stronger safeguards and responsible online engagement.
The discussions also spotlighted World Vision Ghana’s ongoing Anti-Scam campaign, an initiative aimed at protecting communities from digital fraud, exploitation, and misinformation.
Expressing enthusiasm for future collaboration, Dr Mukunda noted that World Vision Ghana is eager to partner with institutions that share its vision of empowerment and social impact.
“We want to empower,” she emphasised, highlighting the organisation’s readiness to explore partnerships that contribute meaningfully to community transformation.
The courtesy call is expected to pave the way for deeper collaboration between the two institutions, leveraging media, dialogue platforms, and advocacy to strengthen economic empowerment and promote social development across Ghana.
