World Vision Ghana has convened a high-level stakeholder validation workshop to review and refine its strategic direction for the next five years.

The workshop brought together key partners from government ministries, development agencies, civil society organisations, and other institutions to ensure alignment with national priorities and global development goals.

Delivering a comprehensive presentation during the workshop, Joshua Baidoo, Strategy & Integrated Programmes Director at World Vision Ghana, outlined the refreshed strategy themed “HOPE 4 Every Child, Harnessing Opportunities for the Protection and Empowerment of Every Child.”

He emphasised the importance of collaboration, stating, “This strategy is not just a World Vision Ghana roadmap; it is a shared commitment to transform the lives of vulnerable children across Ghana. By working together with government, partners, and communities, we can ignite hope and create safe, resilient environments where every child can thrive.”

Covering the period 2026–2030, the strategy aims to ensure that by 2030, 2.8 million vulnerable children in Ghana grow up loved, healthy, educated, and empowered within safe and resilient communities.

The strategy is built around four key pillars: Ministry Impact, Ministry Funding, Operational Excellence, and People, Learning & Growth. Collectively, these pillars are designed to strengthen programme outcomes, diversify resources, enhance efficiency and accountability, and build organisational resilience and leadership capacity.

Stakeholders engaged in robust discussions on the internal and external landscape assessments presented, which highlighted critical child well-being issues such as malnutrition, poor learning outcomes, and heightened vulnerability to disease and disasters.

The strategy aligns closely with national development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on health, education, WASH, and child protection.

The validation workshop reaffirmed World Vision Ghana's commitment to collaborative action and strengthened partnerships with ministries, agencies, and development organisations to achieve sustainable impact.

The organisation reiterated its commitment to an integrated programme framework that would guide interventions across all contexts and funding streams.
