Strategic Objectives

Education Ecosystem

This objective focuses on transforming the quality, relevance, and delivery of education and training in the agri-food and nutrition sectors.

Access

At the heart of Nkabom's mission is equitable access—ensuring that all young people, regardless of background or circumstance, can benefit from opportunities in the agri-food and nutrition space.

Entrepreneurship Ecosystem

This objective is about cultivating an environment where innovation, business development, and job creation in the agri-food and nutrition sectors can thrive.

Sustaining Agrifood Sector in Ghana

This project known as the Nutrition and Sustainable Agri-Food Collaborative, aligns with the Young African Works strategy of the Mastercard Foundation to empower three million young Ghanaians by 2030, through research, education, and entrepreneurship in the agri-food sector.

The agriculture sector in Ghana is acknowledged to contribute over 54% to Ghana’s GDP. The sector holds untapped potential, not just for food security, but for opportunity, innovation and livelihoods. “To enable young people to lead the transformation toward a more nutritious, sustainable, and prosperous agri-food system, backed by a network of universities, technical schools, training institutes, communities, and stakeholders.”
