Karpowership Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing quality education and gender equality through a strategic engagement with the new leadership of the Ghana Commission for UNESCO.
The affirmation was made by Karpower when a team from the organisation paid a courtesy call on the Executive Secretary of the Ghana Commission for UNESCO, Dr Osman T. Damba, in Accra last Thursday.
The call aimed at strengthening ongoing collaborations between the two entities. Discussions centred on joint initiatives to mark key global observances such as the International Day of Education and World Engineering Day, with a focus on empowering the youth through science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
For the past four years, Karpowership Ghana has actively partnered UNESCO in Ghana to commemorate these important days, using them as platforms to inspire young minds and promote sustainable development goals. These include SDG 4 – Quality Education, and SDG 5 – Gender Equality, which are at the heart of the company’s corporate social responsibility agenda.
Shared vision
In a brief remark, the Corporate Communications Manager at Karpowership Ghana, Sandra Amartikar Amarquaye, said education and engineering were powerful tools to transform communities and build a sustainable future. She said the ongoing collaboration between her organisation and UNESCO “is a testament to our shared vision of creating opportunities for the next generation, especially girls and young women in STEM fields”.
The Executive Secretary of the Ghana Commission for UNESCO, Dr Osman T. Damba, expressed appreciation for the continued partnership and praised Karpowership Ghana for going beyond its core mandate to ensure the development of their operational areas and their people.
Inclusive development
“Karpowership Ghana continues to demonstrate what it means to be a responsible corporate citizen,” he said. “You’re not just delivering power; you are empowering lives through education, engineering and meaningful community interventions,” Dr Damba said.
He added that the partnership was a strong example of how the private sector could support UNESCO’s mission for inclusive and sustainable development.
The engagement signals a renewed commitment to expanding joint programmes that encourage youth participation, innovation and gender inclusivity in the educational and energy sectors.
As a global energy company, Karpowership continues to invest in educational projects and mentorship initiatives in Ghana, contributing to national development through capacity building and empowerment.
