SWIDA GHANA successfully organized a two-day capacity-building training for 16 staff members on gender-based advocacy, organizational visibility, and resource mobilization. The knowledge and skills gained will strengthen staff capacity to champion gender-responsive advocacy, enhance the organization's visibility through strategic communication, and develop sustainable fundraising approaches to expand SWIDA Ghana's impact.

Participants are now better equipped to engage stakeholders, influence policy, mobilize resources, and amplify the voices of women and girls across our communities. This training forms part of the SWIDA Ghana EMPOWER HER Project, funded by Plan International Ghana and Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada under the RWVL Cohort 1 partners reinforcing our commitment to women's empowerment and sustainable development.

Savannah Women Integrated Development Agency (SWIDA GHANA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Kumbungu District Assembly to strengthen collaboration in building the capacity of SIGRA-supported women-led CBOs and advancing gender-transformative programming that benefits both women and men.

The official partnership, witnessed by the District Coordinating Director and the SIGRA team from Tamale and Accra, marks an important step in consolidating the work already implemented in Kumbungu.

The MoU provides a stronger framework to deepen women’s leadership, strengthen community participation, promote climate resilience, improve accountability, and advance inclusive local development.

More importantly, it creates opportunities for SWIDA GHANA and the Assembly to build on existing achievements, respond to emerging needs, strengthen local capacities, mobilise resources, and scale practical solutions that promote equality and sustainable development.

Together, we are strengthening partnerships that ensure women, men, youth and vulnerable groups are not only beneficiaries of development, but active contributors to shaping the future of their communities.

Under the Empower Her Project funded by Plan International Ghana and Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada as part of RWVL PROJECT, SWIDA Ghana conduct a baseline survey on gender equality, SGBV, and safe spaces for survivors in four communities. The study seeks to provide a clear understanding of the existing situation, identify key gaps and needs, and guide the design of relevant project interventions.

The presentation was on the preliminary findings during a validation session involving SWIDA staff and community members. Participants reviewed the findings, shared experiences, clarified issues, and provided valuable comments and recommendations to strengthen the report.
Their inputs will help ensure that project interventions are evidence-based, community-driven, and responsive to local realities.

SWIDA GHANA is proud to participate in the launch of Newsroom Poverty: The Silent Crisis in Ghanaian Journalism by Abdul-Hayi Moomen.
A book that examines the challenges facing journalism in Ghana is therefore highly relevant to our work. Quality journalism plays a critical role in amplifying the voices of women, young people, rural communities, and other groups whose experiences can often remain unheard. Strong, independent and adequately resourced journalism is essential for accountability, social justice, civic participation, and evidence-based advocacy and strongly connects with our work amplifying marginalized voices.

Let us support knowledge. Let us support critical conversations. Let us support Ghanaian journalism. 📖🇬🇭

Empowering Young Women Through Skills and Enterprise

SWIDA Ghana, in partnership with Fauzy Events and Partners, successfully trained about 20 young women in the production of gift boxes, including square, rectangular, pillow, and explosive boxes.

Speaking during the training, the Executive Director of SWIDA Ghana emphasized that skills development must go beyond training—it should create pathways for young women to earn incomes, become financially independent, and make informed decisions about their lives and futures. She encouraged the participants to treat the skills acquired as a business opportunity, develop their creativity, identify markets, and support one another to grow.

At the closing and certificate presentation, she congratulated the participants and challenged them to turn their certificates into action, their skills into businesses, and their businesses into sustainable livelihoods.

The initiative contributes to women's economic empowerment by providing practical, marketable skills that can reduce economic dependency and vulnerability to exploitation and gender-based violence.

SWIDA Ghana appreciates Fauzy Events and Partners for the collaboration and congratulates all the young women for completing the training. May this be the beginning of successful entrepreneurial journeys!

The two-day GHANEPs training has strengthened SWIDA Ghana’s understanding and practical use of Ghana’s electronic platforms for accessing information, services, opportunities, and digital resources.

The knowledge gained will enhance our institutional digital capacity and enable us to support our women, youth, and girls’ groups with practical digital literacy, helping them access opportunities, government services, information, and online platforms safely and confidently.

We sincerely appreciate the Ghana Anti-Corruption Commission (GACC) for organizing this important capacity-building initiative and the Ghana Public Procurement Authority for facilitating the training and sharing valuable practical knowledge.

We look forward to applying and cascading these learnings to promote digital inclusion, transparency, empowerment, and greater access to opportunities among the communities we serve.
