ICNL’s resources and information on Ghana.

Overview

ICNL provides technical assistance to local civil society organizations and state partners who are working to develop an enabling Non-Profit Organizations policy and law. Our comments aim to facilitate advocacy efforts by local CSOs partners and engagement with government authorities to ensure that legal reform is in line with international standards and best practice. We collaborate closely with the West Africa Civil Society Institute on several projects, including equipping CSOs throughout West Africa to understand and respond to laws and policies that restrict their operations. We also work to connect our civil society and government colleagues in Ghana to their counterparts in peer countries to promote adoption of best practices on non-profit regulation.
