World Vision Ghana has launched an ambitious five-year strategy to transform the lives of 2.8 million children across the country by 2030.
The 2026–2030 Country Strategy, launched in Accra with support from the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection and the Office of the Chief of Staff, seeks to improve child welfare through stronger interventions in education, health, protection and community resilience.
The launch event, held under the theme “Harnessing Opportunities for the Protection and Empowerment of Every Child – HOPE for Every Child,” brought together government officials, development partners and stakeholders in the child welfare sector.
Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, praised World Vision Ghana for its sustained commitment to protecting vulnerable children and supporting national development priorities.
She said partnerships remain essential in addressing pressing issues such as child protection, access to education, healthcare and gender equality.
“World Vision Ghana has played a pivotal role in supporting national policies on child protection and gender equality,” the Minister stated.
She added that the new strategy is designed to tackle persistent challenges facing children, particularly those in rural and underserved communities where literacy, numeracy and learning outcomes remain low.
Chief of Staff Julius Debrah also commended the organisation for nearly five decades of service in Ghana, noting that its work has positively impacted thousands of families.
According to him, the strategy aligns strongly with Ghana’s national development agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially in areas that require partnerships, innovation, and sustainable financing.
“The government remains committed to supporting World Vision Ghana as we work together to tackle the challenges facing our children,” he said.
National Director of World Vision Ghana, Tinah Mukunda, said the organisation will prioritise key areas, including malnutrition, water and sanitation, and foundational education, under the new strategy.
She explained that the goal is to ensure children grow up healthy, educated, protected and empowered within safe and resilient communities.
“The next five years will be pivotal in shaping the future of millions of children,” she said. “We need the support of all stakeholders to invest in local, co-created and climate-smart solutions to ensure the success of this strategy.”
Stakeholders at the event reaffirmed their commitment to working together to ensure that no child is left behind in Ghana’s development journey.
The programme ended with the unveiling of a commemorative memento by Chief of Staff Julius Debrah and Minister Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, symbolising renewed collaboration between the government and development partners to advance child welfare.
