GPGD Network Partners with Plan International Ghana to Reintegrate 3,000 Out-of-School Children

The Graduates and Professionals of Ga-Dangme (GPGD) Network is proud to partner with Plan International Ghana under the Ghana Education Outcomes Project (GEOP – Lot 7A). This transformative collaboration is designed to reintegrate 3,000 out-of-school children (OOSC) and train 120 community-based facilitators across ten districts in the Greater Accra Region.

Empowering Communities Through Education

This project is a shared commitment to inclusive, accessible, and sustainable education. Together with Plan International Ghana, GPGD is:

• Identifying and validating out-of-school children aged 8–16
• Training local facilitators to deliver accelerated learning programs
• Establishing safe, community-based learning centres
• Reintegrating learners into the formal education system

Collaboration with Local Leadership

To ensure deep-rooted community ownership and success, the project actively engages:

• Chiefs and Queen Mothers
• Honourable Assembly Members
• Traditional and community leaders
• Local government and education stakeholders

These respected leaders are instrumental in mobilizing support, building trust, and ensuring the cultural relevance and sustainability of the initiative.
