McGill University has launched the Nkabom Collaborative, a 10-year partnership with seven Ghanaian institutions and the Mastercard Foundation that aims to reimagine food systems, empower Ghanaian youth, and build inclusive and sustainable communities. Nkabom means “togetherness” in Akan, a language spoken in Ghana. The initiative will focus on education, entrepreneurial opportunities, scholarships, and mentorship, with experiential learning at its centre. By the end of the 10-year period, the initiative is expected to have created 30 new or improved academic programs, 5,000 bursaries, 3,000 youth-led agri-food ventures, and 9,000 new jobs.
