Databank Foundation and YLMP on allAfrica.com!

Databank Foundation and the YLMP (as well as other Foundation initiatives) have featured in an article on allAfrica.com! You can read excerpts of the article below, or you can read it in full here.

Databank... is poised to address the leadership problem that has plagued the continent, through the... Databank Foundation, by training leaders for the continent's development.

So far, 200 people have been trained through the initiative and challenged to bring success to their fields of endeavour.

Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta, Executive Chairman of Databank Group, said the Foundation was an initiative to address the leadership crisis which has plagued the continent, in order to develop Africa and to help solve the problems in the identified areas.

Meanwhile, another programme labelled as the Young Leaders Mentorship Programme targets the youth to become part of the solution and not the problem to the challenges facing Ghana.

A pilot project of the mentorship programme is currently being run at the Kinbu Secondary School, which when successful, would be extended to other communities.

Unfortunately, some of the information on the original article was incorrect, but we have sent a comment pointing this out, and hopefully it should be rectified soon.
