STAR GHANA FOUNDATION’s Giving for Change Program

The Giving for Change programme sets out a bold vision for transforming how “development is done” by focusing specifically on the recognition and importance of domestic resources in increasing local ownership, unlocking agency, and strengthening communities’ ability to claim entitlements from different actors, especially government.

The Giving for Change Project is implemented through an Alliance and covers eight countries in Africa, Asia, and South America. The project is over a 5year period and funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. STAR-Ghana Foundation is the Anchor Institution for Ghana, with WACSI as a Strategic Partner.  

The project has a dual focus to promote;

1. Civic and civil society space and strengthen communities’ ability to claim rights and entitlements from different actors, particularly government.
2. Domestic resources, through philanthropy, including local giving for transformational social change.
