In November 2011, STAR-Ghana put out a call for proposals for Election 2012 on the theme: CONSOLIDATING GHANA’S DEMOCRACY THROUGH TRANSPARENT, FREE AND PEACEFUL 2012 ELECTIONS: THE ROLE OF CSOs and other Non-State Actors. This call invited registered Ghanaian civil society organisations to undertake activities that will enhance transparency, fairness and peace in the 2012 elections. The overall goal of this initiative is to guarantee a transparent and peaceful election devoid of intimidation and conflicts.

The call received 236 expressions of interests under the competitive window, out of which 152 applicants were shortlisted and invited to go through the application process. 98 applications were subsequently received out of which 45 applicants were awarded grants.

Under the non-competive window (strategic opportunities), 9 civil society organisations were invited to submit proposals for specific projects.
