STAR-Ghana Foundation under the Action for Voice and Inclusive Development (AVID) project is making strides in influencing reforms that secure the rights of persons with disabilities.
AVID is an initiative funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and aims to create an inclusive society where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
In an effort to engage diverse communities and gather input for the Manifesto Influencing Initiative, STAR-Ghana Foundation has organized four zonal town hall meetings across the country.
The gatherings were strategically planned to ensure representation from various regions and stakeholder groups, fostering an inclusive and collaborative approach to policy development.
The Manifesto Influencing initiative, a component of the Gender Rights and Empowerment Programme (GREP), commenced with zonal town hall meetings in Tamale, Wa, Ho, Kumasi, and Cape Coast,
The nationwide exercise provided a platform to solicit views and concerns of the citizenry around healthcare delivery, education, and social protection. These are to be discussed with the various political parties to incorporate them into their manifestos for the 2024 general elections.
