A moment of gratitude. A decade of impact.

We came together to mark 10 years of #AfricaSkillsHub, celebrating the journey shaped by youth, women, SMEs, partners, and communities across Africa.

It was also a defining moment as we unveiled our next chapter: ASH Africa.

A new identity rooted in a decade of impact and built for the broader vision that now guides our work across skills, enterprise, capital, and markets.

To every partner, collaborator, and community that has been part of this journey, thank you. Your belief in this work has made all the difference.

Here's to the road ahead.

Africa Skills Hub is now ASH Africa.

The name has evolved. The purpose remains.

Transforming lives. Impacting communities. Building Africa.

Today, we turn a new page.

For the past decade, #AfricaSkillsHub has worked with youth, women, SMEs, institutions, and communities to build skills, strengthen enterprises, and create opportunities across Africa.

As our work, reach, and presence have grown, so too has our vision.

Today, we are proud to introduce our new identity:

ASH Africa.

Transforming lives. Impacting communities. Building Africa.

This is more than a change of name. It reflects both who we are today and the future we are building—a future where skills, capital, enterprise, and markets work together to drive inclusive economic growth across Africa.

Our identity has evolved, but our purpose remains clear: creating pathways for youth, women, and SMEs to grow, trade, and thrive.

The foundation has been laid. This next chapter expands the possibilities.

Welcome to ASH Africa.

Tomorrow, the moment arrives.

For 10 years, Africa Skills Hub has been building with purpose. And in the words of our Executive Director, Daniel Amoako Antwi:

"Tomorrow marks a defining moment — 10 years of impact giving way to a new chapter in the journey."

The foundation has been laid. Tomorrow, you will see the next expression of that vision.

1 day to go.

Yesterday was an inspiring and productive day for the Africa Creatives, Sports and Recreation (ACSAR) Programme in Accra, Ghana! 🇬🇭

We kicked off at the launch of the 2026 Afro Gastro Festival and the National Under-25 Heritage Photo Competition, where @SymerreGrey, our Director of Human Capital and Institutional Development, served as Special Guest of Honour.

In his remarks, @SymerreGrey highlighted that Africa’s cultural and creative sectors are powerful engines for economic transformation, job creation, and enterprise development. Gastronomy is far more than food—it is a gateway to tourism, agriculture, and cultural diplomacy. Through ACSAR, we are reaffirming our commitment to transforming these sectors into strategic drivers of Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Empowerment.

The day continued with a strategic bilateral engagement between Hon. @Dzifa_Gomashie (MP), Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts of Ghana (@MOTACGhana) and Chairperson of the AU STC on Youth, Culture and Sports, and @SymerreGrey. We are particularly encouraged by Ghana’s willingness to explore hosting the 2026 African Festival of Arts, Culture and Creatives (AFESTACC) in Accra—a move that strengthens Ghana’s leadership in the creative economy.

We commend Hon. @Dzifa_Gomashie for her visionary leadership in positioning culture as a strategic asset for continental transformation. This journey, which began in 2025 under the guidance of our CEO H.E. @nardosbthomas, has led to Ghana becoming the 10th African country to domesticate the ACSAR Programme.

Together, we are unlocking opportunities for Africa’s youth and women through creativity, culture, and sports. The message from Accra is clear: Africa’s creative economy is a pathway to empowerment! 🌍✨

Two days away.

For 10 years, #AfricaSkillsHub has been building with purpose. Every programme, every partnership, and every pathway created across the continent has contributed to something greater than any single milestone.

In 2 days, the full picture comes into view.

Built over 10 years. Revealed in 2 days.

The wait is nearly over.

#AfricaSkillsHub #ASH #10thAnniversary #SkillsDevelopment #EnterpriseDevelopment #Africa #FutureOfWork #NextChapter #ComingSoon #WatchThisSpace

[ASH Africa @ASHAfrica_]

The future requires more.

A decade of work has brought #AfricaSkillsHub to a defining moment. Bigger systems. Deeper collaboration. Continental scale.

What we have built over these 10 years has always been in service of a larger vision.
And in 3 days, that vision enters its next chapter.

We have been building toward this moment. And it is almost here.

3 days to go. The countdown continues.

[ASH Africa @ASHAfrica_]

The vision travelled. And the impact kept growing across borders.

We started with a focused commitment to skills and enterprise development, and we continue to reach new communities, ecosystems, and possibilities across Africa.

Over the years, #AfricaSkillsHub has expanded through partnerships, programmes, innovation, and shared learning, creating pathways for growth across the continent.

As we approach our 10th anniversary, we are reflecting on how far our vision has reached and how it continues to grow through people, collaboration, and opportunity.

4 days to go. The countdown continues.

[ASH Africa @ASHAfrica_]

The work expanded. So did the responsibility.

Over the years, #AfricaSkillsHub has grown from programmes into a broader commitment to building pathways for skills, capital, enterprise, markets, innovation, and opportunity across Africa.

With that growth came a deeper responsibility to build systems that are sustainable, responsive, and capable of creating lasting impact at scale.

As we approach our 10th anniversary, we continue to reflect on how far we have come on this journey and the responsibility that accompanies continued growth and impact.

5 days to go. The countdown continues.

Ten years of consistent work leave a mark.

At #AfricaSkillsHub, nearly a decade of work has been dedicated to expanding access to skills, capital, and opportunity across Africa.

This has been a deliberate effort to build systems that enable growth in scale.

The impact is visible in the progress among youth, women, SMEs, and communities, and in the pathways that continue to open across the continent.

What this reflects is real progress and the foundation for what comes next.

6 days to go. The countdown continues.

[ASH Africa @ASHAfrica_]

Every milestone has shaped what comes next.

Over the years, #AfricaSkillsHub has continued to evolve through every training, every partnership, every community engagement, and every opportunity created across the continent.

What began with a clear vision has grown into a wider movement connecting skills, capital, enterprise, and market opportunity across Africa.

As we approach our 10th anniversary, we are reflecting on the journey, the lessons, and the milestones that continue to define our next chapter.

7 days to go. The countdown continues.

Behind every programme is a person.

From our earliest interventions to our expanding regional reach, the work of #AfricaSkillsHub has always been measured in people, not just programmes.

Over the years, the numbers have grown, the reach has expanded, and the impact has deepened, but the focus has remained the same: people.

As we approach our 10th anniversary, we continue to reflect on the journeys, progress, and possibilities that have shaped this story.

8 days to go. The countdown continues.

[ASH Africa @ASHAfrica_]

Ten years in the making. One defining milestone ahead.

We set out to strengthen #skills and #enterprise pathways across Africa, and that work has grown steadily in scale, reach, and impact.

As we approach this milestone, we are preparing to unveil the next phase of our journey.

Something defining is on the horizon, shaped by a decade of learning, growth, and expansion.

The countdown begins. 10 days to go!

In Atorkor, in the Volta Region, three days felt different for women entrepreneurs.

It started with financial literacy and entrepreneurship management, but quickly turned into real conversations about everyday business life. Money coming in. Money going out. How earnings are taken without breaking the business. How small changes slowly shift how work gets done.

Between sessions, facilitators sat with participants one-on-one, talking through real business challenges as they came up.

By the final day, it showed. In the way they spoke about their businesses. Less uncertainty. Clearer decisions. A quiet confidence about what comes next.

Sometimes, all it takes is being in the right room. Learning something practical, asking questions freely, and hearing stories that make the future feel possible again.

For young people, women building businesses, and entrepreneurs finding their footing, experiences like this leave a lasting impact long after the training sessions end.

“Even though I already planned my budget each year, the programme helped me understand how to structure it better so I can avoid overspending and manage my finances more effectively.”

Every business has a different story.

Before we offer any support, we start by listening and understanding the real challenges enterprise owners navigate every day.

These conversations are often where meaningful support begins.

On Friday 15 May 2026 at 14h30 SAST, young leaders from across Africa are coming together for a live webinar on Sexual and Reproductive Health and what it means for Africa's future.

Africa has the youngest population in the world. That's an incredible opportunity. But that opportunity only becomes real when young people are healthy, informed, and empowered to make choices about their own lives and bodies.

Youth leaders from #Botswana, #Zimbabwe, #Cameroon, #Djibouti, #Malawi and #Ethiopia will be sharing real stories, real challenges, and real solutions. Not policy jargon, but lived experience.
This is your invitation to listen, learn, and join the conversation.
