Grameen Ghana is a local non-governmental organization legally registered with the Department of Social Development and the Registrar General’s Department as a company limited by guarantee. The organization was originally established in 2001 as a capacity building institution known as Centre for Employment and Resource Management. However, the name of the organization was later changed to Grameen Ghana to reflect its new mandate following restructuring and development of new programmes. Currently, Grameen Ghana has its headquarters in Tamale but operates in 16 Districts in the Northern, Savannah, North East and Upper East Regions.
