  "account": "On November 19, Social Enterprise Ghana will host its 10th anniversary celebration, the Ghana Social Enterprise Forum 2026, at the British Council in Accra. This forum aims to propel investment, job creation, and the growth of businesses tackling social and environmental issues. The theme, \"Celebrating a Decade of Impact: Building a Generational Legacy for Shared Prosperity,\" underscores the importance of recognizing achievements while looking towards the future. Founded in 2016 by a group of 23 young individuals, led by Amma Lartey, the organization now boasts over 1,300 member enterprises and 100 support entities. With an estimated 200,000 social enterprises contributing roughly US$2 billion annually to Ghana's economy and supporting 800,000 jobs, the sector's impact is significant. Over the past decade, Social Enterprise Ghana has trained more than 60,000 young people and facilitated access to financing and markets for nearly 3,000 individuals. The event will convene entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, financial institutions, and academics to discuss opportunities and experiences within the sector. Topics will include social impact investment, diversity and inclusion, pathways to employment, impact measurement, and case studies of B Corp-certified businesses. A dedicated Deals Room will facilitate connections between social enterprises and financial entities, while an exhibition will highlight member enterprises and their innovations, offering opportunities for partnerships and market access. Supporting partners include WUSC Ghana, SIFA, Accra Technical University, the European Union Delegation in Ghana, and SOS/Spark Changemakers.",
