Mayor of Accra hosts young innovators, pledges support and inclusive development

The Mayor of Accra, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, has pledged the Assembly’s continued support for young innovators, especially women and persons with disabilities, working to tackle local challenges through creativity and entrepreneurship.

According to him supporting grassroots innovators was not just a moral imperative but a strategic one, especially in a city grappling with youth unemployment, climate threats, and the need for inclusive economic growth.

The Mayor made this known on Friday during the Greater Accra Young Innovators Fair, organised by Impact Sync under the UNDP Young Africa Innovates (YAI) Programme, where more than 25 emerging innovators showcased solutions in agritech, clean energy, accessible technology, sustainable fashion, and waste management.

“The government believes in the power of young people to transform Accra through creative and practical solutions. This Assembly will continue to open its doors and platforms to support women, persons with disabilities, and all youth pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in our communities, ” he said.
