A release from the Pulic Affairs section of the U.S. Embassy copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Tuesday, urged interested persons between the ages of 25 ? 35 years who believe that their generation can be the catalyst for job creation, and who reside in Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, or Togo to apply.

?Together with private sector experts, the 100 selected participants will explore obstacles to small business growth and share best practices for private and social entrepreneurs for solving regional challenges through idea-sharing, collaboration, partnership and learning?, the release explained.

Dozens of TechCamps around the world have brought together representatives from the private sector and civil society to seek solutions to community challenges.

They are unique in that after the event is over, civil society voices are connected to global networks of technologists, sponsors and digital volunteers interested in helping implement solutions. GNA
