Accra, April 14, GNA – World Vision Ghana will on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, launch a new five‑year national strategy aimed at improving the lives of about 2.8 million vulnerable children.
The strategy, themed “HOPE 4 Every Child – Harnessing Opportunities for the Protection and Empowerment for Every Child,” aligns with Ghana’s national development priorities and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the launch, Madam Tinah Mukunda, the National Director of World Vision Ghana, said the plan focuses on investing in children’s talents, strengthening capacity building and expanding partnerships to respond to evolving child vulnerabilities.
“We are excited to unveil a strategy that will guide our work over the next five years. This strategy builds on the work World Vision has done in Ghana and responds to changing patterns of vulnerability among children,” Madam Mukunda said.
She said the organisation aims to ensure that by the end of the strategy period, targeted children are better protected, healthier, educated and living in more resilient households and communities.
Madam Mukunda said the strategy is built around four pillars: impact, funding, operational excellence and growth, noting that new funding models have been developed to help sustain programmes amid declining international aid.
“The strategy is fully aligned with government priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals, which are in their final phase of implementation towards 2030,” she added.
Mr Joshua Baidoo, World Vision Ghana Strategy and Programmes Director, said the plan adopts an integrated programming approach, focusing on sectors such as health and nutrition, child protection, education, water and sanitation, climate‑responsive programming and livelihoods.
“We decided on an integrated programming approach because a child’s well‑must be addressed holistically,” Baidoo said. “Strong partnerships with government, donors and the private sector will be critical to the success of this strategy.”
He said children continue to face multiple challenges, particularly in protection and access to basic services, making coordinated interventions essential to improving their quality of life.
