STAR-Ghana Foundation rally partners to push for equity, social inclusion -Two-year AVID project begins

 

STAR-Ghana Foundation’s Actions for Voice and Inclusive Development (AVID) project has held an orientation for partners under the project in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

The aim was to create an avenue for the partners to better understand the Foundation’s ways of working, including reporting requirements and how these relate to the project.

Additionally, the workshop provided a platform for identifying synergies amongst the partners to enhance collaboration.

The AVID, a two-year project with support from the Flora and Hewlett Foundation seeks to contribute to addressing systemic constraints to underserved population's access to their rights, particularly voice and influence in governance and equitable access to quality public goods and services.

In all, 44 participants participated in the AVID orientation programme and were drawn from 21 Community-Based Organisations (CBOs), and less formalised networks shortlisted after submitting concept notes through the call for partnership process. These partners were supported to fully develop their concept notes into proposals in tandem with the project’s overall goal, participated in the two-day orientation from 28th – 29th March 2023.
