A scene after the engagement

 

A team from the MasterCard Foundation has paid a courtesy visit to the management of Daily Guide Network (DGN) to strengthen collaboration and build a deeper partnership in 2026.

The initiative aims to position both institutions to jointly promote youth empowerment through entrepreneurship and agribusiness, with special focus on women across the country.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of DGN, Kwame Blay, in his welcome remarks, commended the Foundation for its activities aimed at empowering the youth.

“We appreciate the time you’ve taken. I personally know a little bit about the MasterCard Foundation’s great work,” he said.

Mr. Blay indicated that the DGN, known for decades of excellence in Ghana’s media landscape, is not only made up of the DAILY GUIDE newspaper, but also includes other additions like GUIDE RADIO 91.5, and DGN TV.

“… we’ll be very interested in seeing if it’s possible for some of our media teams to partake in one of your programmes, because we usually have very young teams,” he added.

MasterCard Foundation Country Communications Lead, Felix Baidoo, stated that the Foundation is a global philanthropic organisation that focuses on advancing education and financial inclusion, primarily in Africa.

Mr. Baidoo added that the MasterCard Foundation is focusing on education, financial inclusion, and youth empowerment.

He was optimistic about future collaborations geared towards youth empowerment for mutual benefits.
