Background for project work

The Strengthening Civil Society Representation of Women with Disabilities in Ghana programme launched in May 2024, is a 2-year project funded by the European Union. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of two co-applicants in the areas of management, communication, fundraising, coordination, advocacy, gender, climate change, networking, and financial accountability.

Sightsavers will build the capacity of two co-applicants: Women with Disability Development and Advocacy Organisation (WODAO) and the Alliance for Better Advocacy and Knowledge (ABAK) Foundation. WODAO and the ABAK Foundation will subsequently cascade this capacity building to their members and partners, strengthening their ability to claim their rights and hold duty bearers accountable. The project also aims to establish collaborative partnerships with various Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), including those that focus on women's rights, disabilities, and environmental/climate issues.

Sightsavers is inviting bids from environmental and climate change organizations to provide capacity-building training to the ABAK Foundation, WODAO, and their downstream partners (38 community-based organisations) in climate change and emergency preparedness.
