The Ghana Philanthropy Week Initiative aims to elevate the philanthropy sector in Ghana as a key stakeholder for development through an annual collaborative week-long series of joint activities. This initiative will also co-create innovations, positioning key actors to promote a supportive and enabling environment for philanthropy in Ghana and West Africa. This will facilitate greater synergy and coordination, enabling the sector to collectively advocate for policy issues, address emerging concerns in the operating environment, and establish a high-level stakeholder platform for peer learning and philanthropy support. The week-long activities will include and welcome a variety of philanthropic actors: foundations, funders and philanthropy support organisations. The other key partners include philanthropy and social investment networks, associations, giving platforms, and think tanks, and the diversity of philanthropy infrastructure organisations including informal solidarity networks.

 This event will bring the Philanthropy Ghana Coalition and strategic partners to co-create innovations, positioning key actors to promote a supportive and enabling environment for philanthropy in Ghana and West Africa. This will facilitate greater synergy and coordination, enabling the sector to collectively advocate for policy issues, address emerging concerns in the operating environment, and establish a high-level stakeholder platform for peer learning and philanthropy support.
