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:
