The Ghana Climate Innovation Centre (GCIC), an Ashesi University Institute, was honored to participate in Canada’s Partners Forum on January 23 and 24, 2024. This event, attended by representatives from over 45 international assistance organizations in Ghana, aimed to strengthen partnerships and collaboration for sustainable development between Canada and Ghana.

The forum focused on achieving three main objectives: Better Partnerships, Better Programs, and Better Results and provided a platform for partners to exchange ideas, network, coordinate efforts, and map out common strategies to respond to Ghana’s development agenda.

The Executive Director of the GCIC, Ruka Sanusi joined a Panel Discussion on “Creating More Sustainable Partnerships Through Localization Of Development Interventions” about the GCIC’s experiences as a Ghanaian organization implementing a GAC project in Ghana and how donors such as Canada can better partner with local organizations for improved development outcomes.

Prior to the forum, GCIC participated in a marketplace of projects, which showcased significant work in areas such as inclusive economic growth, health, gender equality, and environment and climate action, including contributions from the GCIC alumni.
