The STAR Ghana Foundation (SGF), to be launched in November 2018, is a national centre for active citizenship and philanthropy. The Foundation works to strengthen civil society and enable citizens to engage with the state to ensure accountable, transparent and responsive governance at both local and national levels (see the Foundation’s Vision & Mission Statement in Section 2 below). It builds on the successful STAR-Ghana programme (Strengthening Transparency, Accountability and Responsiveness in Ghana), a multi-donor civil society initiative established in 2011.
