ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection
The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) was created by an Executive Instrument 1 (E.I. 1) in January, 2013 as a successor to the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs. The primary objective for its establishment was to have a Ministry responsible for policy formulation, coordination and monitoring and evaluation of Gender, Children and Social Protection issues within the context of the national development agenda.
This will lead to the achievement of gender equality, equity, the empowerment of women and girls, promoting the survival and development of children, thus ensuring their rights. It will also ensure harmonizing social protection interventions to better target the vulnerable, excluded and persons with disability and integrate fulfilment of their rights, empowerment and full participation into national development

Plan Ghana
Plan International has been working in Ghana to support children, particularly the most marginalised, to exercise their rights for over 25 years. Working in 637 communities, the majority of which are rural, our work has impacted the lives of 480,000 children.
In Ghana, children, especially girls, suffer from violence at school and in their communities. In addition, there is a lack of quality education and many children drop out of school. As a result, there is a need to address the root causes of these issues.
We work with partners to create safe communities for children that are free from all forms of violence through our child protection programmes. Our work also ensures children have the opportunity to learn through our quality, basic, inclusive education programme. We also support families to earn more money and manage it better so their children can thrive.
Child Rights International
Child Rights International has over the years worked with different partners and implemented major projects across Ghana. Currently working in seven regions of the country and we continually provide support for children, to ensure that children’s voices and contributions are recognized and valued in society, and to reaffirm children’s faith in a better and brighter future.
