The GH¢100 billion Ghana COVID-19 Alleviation and Revitalization of Enterprises Support (CARES) “Obaatan pa” programme is a three and half year comprehensive programme to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, return the country to a sustained path of robust growth and to create a more resilient and transformed economy. Ghana CARES is not the totality of Government’s economic development programme but rather; it represents the strategic and catalytic interventions that will foster a quicker recovery and boost our post-COVID economic transformation.
Ghana CARES is a two-phase programme that builds on the immediate actions already taken by Government under the Coronavirus Alleviation Programme (CAP).

Ghana CARES will create jobs and in particular help us address our youth unemployment problem.
Government will ensure that job creation and other benefits of Ghana CARES are inclusive, in particular, by supporting women-owned businesses and ensuring that there is gender equality in access to employment.
We also aim to attract and facilitate the entry of at least 3,000 educated youth into commercial agriculture over the three-year period from 2021 to 2023.
