She shared this data during CAMFED’s annual media partnership meeting in Tamale, in the Northern Region, aimed at strengthening ties with the media to promote girls’ education, women’s empowerment, and enterprise development.
CAMFED has also developed a new strategic plan for the period 2024–2029. According to the Country Director, this plan builds on CAMFED’s experience and momentum to set ambitious goals. Over the six-year period, CAMFED aims to triple its impact, drawing on 30 years of successful implementation. The strategy represents a continuation, rather than a change, of CAMFED’s mission, with core components of its model organized into three levels of work remaining in place.
