Inclusion Ghana is a network organisation working to
reduce stigmatization and ensure full inclusion of all
persons with intellectual disability and their families by
advocating for their rights and needs.
Inclusion Ghana is a member of Inclusion International,
the global federation of family-based organizations
advocating for the human rights of persons withintellectual disabilities that has over 200 member
federations in 115 countries throughout ve regions
including the Middle East and North Africa, Europe, Africa
and the Indian Ocean, the Americas, and Asia Pacic.
The fundamental building block for Inclusion Ghana
was the 2006 decision of a group of Non-Governmental
Organisation leaders in Ghana working with persons
with intellectual disabilities (PWID) to create a platformthat unies the voices of PWID and their families. It was
di cult to agree on a common structure then. In 2007,
these organisations requested Landsforeningen LEV
in Denmark to facilitate the process of establishing an
umbrella organisation to co-ordinate and strengthen
information sharing, networking and cooperation
between organisations working with PWID. Discussion
continued until 25th November, 2009 when Inclusion
Ghana was formally established and duly registered with
the Registrar General’s Department.
Inclusion Ghana works through non-governmental and
community based organizations to oer services to
persons with intellectual disabilities and their families
and advocate for their rights and needs. To achieve this,
Inclusion Ghana has identied four key intervention areas:
