The McDan Entrepreneurship Challenge is being organized by TEN Ghana, an organisation that promotes the “create your own job” spirit among young people in the country.
Partner institutions include the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan (NEIP), Ministry of Business Development, and Active Media.
The McDan Entrepreneurship Challenge is funded by McDan Foundation.
