A STAR-Ghana Foundation (SGF) Giving for Change (GfC) programme that seeks to promote domestic resource mobilization for development is gaining grounds in some communities in Tamale and Wa, in the Northern and Upper West regions respectively.
Indeed, 12 rural and urban communities in the Sissala West district and Wa Municipalities have accepted local philanthropy to raise funds for public goods and services such as clinics, schools, and clean water, among others.
The GfC programme is a five-year project that aims to do development differently from a mindset that the citizenry is responsible for their own development.
With funding from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the GfC is anchored on the recognition that domestic resources are important in increasing local ownership of projects and influence civic actions for inclusive development.
