| Abstract: |
Foundation funding focused on Ghana over the past decade has encompassed all aspects of the global development agenda and beyond. Among foundations whose grants are tracked by Foundation Center, their giving focused on Ghana totaled $499 million between 2002 and 2012. While few foundations intentionally aligned their grantmaking priorities with the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), over half of grants (54 percent) made by the 151 foundations included in this analysis and most of their grant dollars (79 percent or $394 million) supported activities consistent with at least one of the eight MDGs. This report is the first in a series of reports to be produced as a part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Philantrophy Platform initiative. [The foreword was written by Christine Evans-Klock, and the introduction was written by Akwasi Aidoo.] |
