We build the capacities of MMDAs to improve revenue generation and management and to deliver better services to communities
Our Education programme entails capacity building and networking of SMCs, PTAs, and Youth in Education, Education management and governance, promotion of girl child education, Teacher development, and Policy Advocacy in Education. We are particularly interested in promoting citizen led educational advocacy using credible evidence.
Health and Nutrition: Ghana is witnessing improved health and nutrition outcomes over the
past years. Prevalence of anaemia, stunting, wasting, maternal and infant mortality are said
to be on the decline even though no progress has been made towards achieving the exclusive
breastfeeding target, with only 42.9% of infants aged 0 to 5 months exclusively breastfed.
However, regional disparities persist, as northern Ghana lags in critical health outcomes,
including under-five malnutrition and severe anemia, higher levels of child mortality, and
lower coverage of basic health services. Limited access to improved water sources and
widespread open defecation remain significant challenges in many rural communities,
particularly in the northern regions. Low contraceptive prevalence throughout the country
(25% use of modern methods by married women) and high fertility rates in the north continue
to negatively affect the health of mothers and children.
Our health and nutrition programmes therefore aim at improving health and nutrition
outcomes in poor and deprived communities. It also involves advocacy including community
sensitizations and capacity building to improve the sanitation and hygiene behaviours of
people. The organization incorporates service delivery including provision of Health
infrastructure and equipment as well as boreholes and water harvesting facilities.
Our Agriculture and Food Security programme seeks to address the underlying challenges that inhibit farmers access to natural resources, productive inputs, financial and advisory services as well as market opportunities. Our interventions in this area involve capacity building and networking of farmers, promoting Youth in Agriculture, and Agriculture value chain development, climate resilient agriculture and Policy Advocacy. We also facilitate linkage of farmers to other value chain actors such as financial institutions, input dealers, mechanization service providers, marketers, and transporters.
Our programme on women empowerment focuses on women’s health, female access to education, women’s participation in governance and decision making and women’s access to finance and economic opportunities. This programme involves mobilising and strengthening capacity of women and girls to demand their rights and improve their wellbeing in society. We specifically provide trainings and coaching services on business management and facilitate linkage of individuals and businesses to financial institutions. We also improve capacities of institutions and duty bearers to appropriately respond to the needs of women and girls and strive for gender equity in service delivery. We further intervene in providing innovative services such as establishment of Agro-processing centres for women to improve upon value addition and marketing of their businesses.
