Ghana

What we’re funding in Ghana:

Proof-of-concept funding:

Proof-of-concept (POC) funding up to $250,000 CAD will be awarded to early-stage projects that can implement, test and refine solutions to country-specific personal, social, and/or environmental factors impacting young people’s mental health and wellbeing in one of the 12 countries.

In Ghana, we’re funding POC ideas to prevent bullying in schools. These innovative solutions will focus on rights based anti-bullying interventions and educational initiatives in schools with the goal of creating safe school environment and enhancing the overall well-being of students aged 10-24 and school staff (teachers, counsellors, and others).

Transition-to-scale funding:

Transition-to-scale (TTS) funding between $300,000 CAD and $1,500,000 CAD will be awarded to support tested mental health promotion and prevention approaches that align with country-specific priorities along their scaling journey to help catalyze their sustainability and impact.

Ecosystem catalyst funding:

Ecosystem catalyst (EC) funding between $200,000 CAD and $300,000 CAD will be awarded to organizations that can address priority barriers to scale, such as legislation, evidence, coordination, and mobilize demand to help mental health initiatives succeed and grow in one of 12 priority countries.

In Ghana, we’re funding EC proposals that work with government bodies and other stakeholders to effectively integrate mental health initiatives, including innovations, into the school health programs.
