Promoting Democracy & Development for Forty Years

It is forty years ago that the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAF) started a modest assistance project in Ghana. This fairly small beginning has within the past forty years grown to a sizeable exposure with many organisations and institutions in Ghana.

Whereas initially the co-operation was in the area of self-help programmes for women, here with the Christian Mothers’ Association (CMA) with whom everything began in Ghana, activities of KAF have extended to many other areas.

It is the hope of KAF that the cordial relationship that have existed between the Foundation and its many partners will continue to grow even stronger so that together a strong and stable economy bolstered by political pluralism and stability can be achieved and maintained to enable the realisation of the goals of the GPRS and of NEPAD.

The workshop will bring together present and former partners of KAF in order to assess the work of the past 40 years. These partners in the different fields are, among others:
