ACTIONAID GHANA

Ghana, which has a population of over 28 million people (according to 2018 projections), was the first African country to win independence in 1957.

With 70% of the nation relying on subsistence farming to exist, unpredictable weather patterns frequently result in droughts and floods, causing severe food shortages for many households, particularly in the north.

In 1990, ActionAid began operations in Ghana. With a local Board membership of 13, it became the first country program to become an Associate of ActionAid International in 2005.

ActionAid Ghana (AAG) now works with almost two million poor people in 57 districts throughout eleven regions: the Upper East, Upper West, Northern, Savannah, North East, Brong Ahafo, Bono East, Ahafo, Oti, Volta, and Greater Accra.

ActionAid Ghana (AAG) helps poor people meet their basic necessities and exercise their rights. We don't impose solutions; instead, we engage with communities to increase their own efforts to enhance access to services by leveraging their expertise and experience. We also collaborate with the government, community organizations, partners, and others to develop policies that improve people's lives or to reform policies and practices that harm them.

ActionAid Ghana utilizes a rights-based development strategy (that is, working within a human rights framework) to empower people to hold duty bearers accountable and safeguard the rights of the poor and vulnerable in the hopes of eradicating poverty.
