STRIVE-Ghana
STRIVE Ghana, funded by GCERF, will cover thirty-six (36) months and inherently seeks to prevent and address the root causes of localised and spillover conflicts and vulnerabilities to violent extremism and would specifically empower local governance institutions, actors and customary governance structures to ensure more inclusive, responsive and accountable governance, economic development and quality service delivery, as a peace dividend in the selected regions.
Where We Work
Nine border districts across Upper East, Upper West, and North East Regions, including Kassena Nankana West, Tempane, Builsa South, Talensi, Bolgatanga Municipal, Daffiama Bussie Issa, Nadowli Kaleo, Nabdam, and Mamprugu Moagduri. These areas face high risks due to porous borders, refugee influx, and socio-economic vulnerabilities.
Target Groups
- Out-of-school youth (15–35 years), including refugees and persons with disabilities.
- Women’s groups (VSLA, Queen Mothers, traditional leaders).
- Border security staff and Ghana Police Service.
- Traditional authorities and District Assemblies.
