“We’re excited to support economic recovery in Ghana through the launch of the Boost with Facebook program, as entrepreneurship provides economic opportunities for Ghanaians and plays an integral role in driving Ghana’s economy.” Adaora Ikenze, Head of Public Policy, Anglophone West Africa said while commenting about the launch. At Meta, we know that small and medium businesses in Ghana may be experiencing unexpected challenges during the outbreak of COVID-19 and we’re committed to providing as much support as possible. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy and pillars of their local communities so this programme is designed to help them strengthen their businesses during these challenging times.”
Meta’s free workshops have helped hundreds of businesses build their social media skills and reach new audiences with lessons such as setting up a digital presence, discovering their audience online, or developing engaging content. Since its launch in Africa in 2017, the Boost with Facebook program has trained over 200,000 small businesses across the continent.
