The Giving for change Project is a five (5) year project which begins from 2021 to 2025. It is funded by Giving for Change Alliance (GfCA) which is spearheaded by an international Consortium consisting of the Global Fund for Community Foundations (GFCF), Africa Philanthropy Network (APN), Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) and Wilde Ganzen (WG). The GfC programme sets out a bold vision for transforming how ‘‘development is done’’. The main goal is community and domestic philanthropy; recognizing that communities do not only have issues but assets as well which can be used to build the power and voice of communities. The objective of this project is to influence how development work is done by focusing on 3 elements; increasing local ownership, unlocking agency, strengthening communities to claim entitlements from different actors, especially the government. The GfC project is being implemented in eight countries globally, including, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Brazil and Palestine. In Ghana, STAR-Ghana Foundation is the lead organization and WACSI is the key partner The Giving for Change (GFC) Project seeks to promote domestic resources mobilization and philanthropy as a strategy for increasing local ownership and influencing civic action for inclusive development. The project is anchored on the recognition of the importance of domestic resources in increasing local ownership, unlocking agency, and strengthening communities’ ability to claim their civic and fundamental rights.
