Despite the increasing youth population growth, successive Governments in Africa have demonstrated little commitment to address the problem of youth marginalization from mainstream development. Africa today has witnessed marginal increase in the number of young people in the legislature and the active involvement of the youth in national governance (i.e. social, economic and corporate) is yet to be institutionalized. Mirroring the African-wide problem from the lenses of Ghana, USAID succinctly expressed in USAID/ Ghana Strategy Statement thus “Ghanaian youth have extremely limited opportunities for education, employment and participation in constructive political and development processes. While Ghana’s youth represent an enormous resource, they are rarely considered as important agents of social and economic transformation” (USAID/Ghana, 2006).
