Over the past few years Ghana has enjoyed a stable government and by implementing trade liberalisation and privatisation policies it has experienced more economic growth than many other African countries.

However this increase in economic activity has not been consistent throughout the country and in the poorer North 80% of the population still live on less than a dollar a day.

Tools for Self Reliance is currently working with several partners in Ghana. These include the Centre for the Development of People (CEDEP), Pro-Link, TRAX Ghana, Girls Growth and Development (GIGDEV), Simli Aid, Ghana Young Artisans Movement (GYAM) and the Ghana Danish Community Programme (GDCP).

In our projects in Ghana we focus on:

• People with disability


• HIV and artisans


• Networking among artisans.

Our country strategy for Ghana outlines in depth our reasons for working here.
