  "summary": "The Standard Chartered Bank Ghana PLC recently held a graduation ceremony for the sixth cohort of its Women in Tech programme, celebrating ten female entrepreneurs who completed the six-month accelerator. The businesses, which are climate-smart and technology-enabled, will each receive a grant funding of GH₵113,500 to support their growth and scaling. The programme, implemented by the Ghana Climate Innovation Centre, has provided USD 210,000 in grants and supported 83 women-led businesses since its inception, creating over 166 jobs and generating GH₵3.9 million in cumulative revenue. The event brought together investors, ecosystem leaders, alumni, and partners to recognize the cohort's progress and create networking opportunities for the entrepreneurs to build relationships that will support the growth of their businesses.",
