The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat; its effects are felt daily. From erratic rainfall and prolonged droughts to reduced crop yields and environmental degradation, the need for collective and practical action has never been more urgent.

It is against this backdrop that on Friday, June 20, 2025, leading food and beverage company Twellium Industries, in partnership with project management non-profit IMPLEMENTERS (IMP), joined forces to support the national agenda of greening Ghana through the ‘Green With Twellium’ tree planting initiative. The exercise took place across two communities, Kwashiekuman and Doblo Gonno, both located in Adjen Kotoku.

The day’s activities unfolded in three major parts, beginning at Kwashiekuman M/A Basic School, where the team from Twellium, led by Daniel Anyoriga, Communications Manager, and the IMPLEMENTERS team, led by Blessing Okam, Communications & Engagement Manager, were joined by a representative from the Forestry Commission.

Together, they hosted an engaging session with students, discussing the importance of trees in preserving the environment, improving air quality, and creating a greener, cooler, and more sustainable learning environment. Students were also educated on the various species of trees being planted, including soursop, guava, neem, and cashew, and the role each species plays in building a greener and more resilient ecosystem.

To reinforce the educational impact, learning materials were distributed, followed by a generous donation of beverages to the school. With the full participation of school leadership and students, the team successfully distributed and planted over 50 trees within the school compound.

The team then proceeded to Doblo Gonno M/A Basic School, where a similar outreach was held. Following the sensitisation session, another 80+ trees were distributed and planted on the school grounds with support from the staff and students.

To expand the campaign’s reach beyond schools, Twellium staff also received nearly 600 saplings, which were distributed for individual planting in homes and communities, further contributing to the broader Greening Ghana initiative.

The “Green With Twellium” initiative was overwhelmingly successful, not just in numbers, but in spirit. It exemplifies the power of partnerships in addressing environmental challenges and aligns strongly with IMPLEMENTERS’ organisational commitment to climate action and community-led development.

This campaign also serves as a build-up to IMPLEMENTERS’ upcoming event, the Climate Forward Summit, which aims to convene stakeholders across sectors to align vision, strategy, and solutions toward a resilient and climate-smart Ghana.

We are proud to announce the first-ever Climate Forward Summit. This flagship event will bring together government representatives, private-sector leaders, civil society organizations, researchers, and community actors to accelerate climate resilience, energy transition, and sustainable agricultural practices.

Africa is experiencing mounting climate challenges that threaten food production, water security, infrastructure, and public health, especially in vulnerable communities. At the same time, momentum grows around clean energy, climate-smart infrastructure, and sustainable agriculture. Recognizing this dual imperative, IMPLEMENTERS has created the Climate Forward Summit as an annual platform to align stakeholders across sectors for coordinated, practical action.

The summit provides a neutral and action-oriented space to explore:

  • How extractive industries can transition and contribute to national climate goals
  • How the agriculture sector can adapt to safeguard food systems and livelihoods
  • How innovations across energy, infrastructure, and policy can unlock a climate-smart future

Under the theme, “Foundations of Climate Action: Aligning Vision, Sector, and Strategy,” the Summit emphasizes inclusive governance and collaboration among government bodies, private companies, civil society organizations, indigenous communities, and individuals. This year’s summit will explore critical intersections of climate, economy, and community resilience, including:

  • Climate-resilient agriculture and food systems
  • Energy transition and decarbonization strategies for extractive industries
  • Carbon offsetting, emissions reporting, and ESG integration
  • Climate financing for farmers, agribusinesses, and local governments
  • Role of data, technology, and early warning in climate adaptation
  • Nature-based solutions and land restoration
  • Gender and youth inclusion in green economy transitions
  • Business innovation in low-carbon infrastructure and transport

As the inaugural Climate Forward Summit, this event marks the beginning of an annual forum to track progress, share new challenges, and reinforce collaborative action toward a sustainable and resilient future. Stakeholders interested in attending, sponsoring, or presenting are encouraged to watch for updates at www.theimplementers.org or contact the event organisation team via email at communications@theimplementers.org for more information.

In a notable step towards advancing climate resilience and community empowerment, IMPLEMENTERS joined WASCAL and other key stakeholders in the climate space for the launch of the ‘Climate Change Action Now (CCAN)’ initiative, an event celebrated on World Environment Day, 5th June, 2025. 

Gracing the event were dignitaries of the diplomatic corps, corporate organisations, academia, CSOs/NGSOs and the media. Solidarity messages were shared by representatives from the Embassy of the Holy See, the Embassy of Germany, MTN Ghana, KOPIA and CSIR. The Country Director of WASCAL, Emmanuel Wendsongre Ramde, gave a warm welcome address. Also present was the deputy representative of WASCAL, who also came along with some participants from WASCAL in Burkina-Faso. There was also a guest lecture by Prof. Benjamin Kofi Nyarko of the University of Cape Coast and Prof. Wilson Agyare of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), whose thought-provoking presentations emphasized the urgent need to involve youth in climate discourse and decision-making.

The CCAN initiative by WASCAL is a bold advocacy campaign that seeks to empower Ghanaian youth, women and grassroots communities with sustainable strategies and tools and solutions for climate adaptation and clean energy. At the event were thought leaders, academic experts, industry players, CSOs/NGOs, and the media, who embodied a shared interest and united by a common vision to act now for climate resilience. The theme for the event, ‘Powering Ghana Youth Towards Climate Resilience’, accentuated the significant role the youth play in shaping Ghana’s climate landscape both now and in the future. It also served as a platform for an intergenerational dialogue with speakers from different industries and age groups, with the goal of appreciating mutual understanding, learning and shared experiences; resounding the value of inclusive participation.

The launch also marked the beginning of an ambitious journey by WASCAL of reaching 10,000 youth, women and community members across Ghana. The mission is to train these groups, equipping them with the necessary mindset, tools and skills, to be responsible and take up leadership roles in championing climate action in their communities. 

Strength in Partnerships and Collaboration

IMPLEMENTERS delivered key insights on how the organisation leverages partnerships as an effective tool for driving impactful climate action. This was done by Daniel Ntiamoah Danquah, the Senior Partnerships associate. Drawing from the work of IMPLEMENTERS, Daniel stressed the importance of organisations collaborating in their strengths in terms of resources, skills and human capital, to achieve a common vision. He added that, working in silos slows effective development, therefore he urged everyone present to be open and leverage on each others capacities in fostering innovation and a shared responsibility.

Tree planting activity

Symbolising the mission of the event, while inspiring everyone to wear the shoes as climate champions, all participants took part in a tree planting exercise. IMPLEMENTERS joined MTN Ghana and the Association of Ghana Industries (Accra) to plant a guava plant on the premises of WASCAL, which served as a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and future generations. 

IMPLEMENTERS recognizes that climate action demands thoughtful, urgent and coordinated action. Joining other enthusiastic individuals in the room, we pledged our commitment to support WASCAL’s initiative and other programs to not only amplify our voice but also contribute our quota in driving innovation and building sustainable pathways for the future.

On 29th May, 2025, IMPLEMENTERS organised its maiden Strategic Sector Research (ISSR) on Education, at the Duapa Werkspace in Takoradi.

The ISSR event gathered a dynamic group of stakeholders from the educational ecosystem – academia, technology, child development, psychology, curriculum development, NGOs, and the media. Each representative brought their unique expertise to the table of discussion to contribute to the meeting’s goal. ISSR underscored the importance of cross-sector collaboration in addressing persistent challenges that affect Ghana’s educational system. Our primary objective for the stakeholder dialogue was:

  1. To identify critical educational gaps
  2. To learn from stakeholders on how they are addressing educational challenges
  3. To co-create actionable community-driven solutions that are responsive to the needs of learners and communities.

Primary areas of engagement

The one-day event was structured around a collaborative dialogue and brainstorming session on thematic areas in evaluating gaps in STEM, digital and literacy education, exploring opportunities for transformation and collaboration and creating community-driven solutions and capacity building for teachers.

  1. Evaluating gaps in STEM, Digital and Literacy Education

Participants went through an exercise of examining the pitfalls learners encounter in accessing quality education in STEM, digital and literacy education, as necessary to identify solutions that promote literacy development, especially in underprivileged communities. The discussion focused on the need for a curriculum reform and an innovative delivery method in teaching and learning.

  1. Exploring opportunities for transformation and collaboration

During this event, participants identified existing initiatives while aligning with potential areas of collaboration by exploring new ways to accelerate the educational ecosystem. Bridging the gap between policy and practice through inclusive partnerships was an integral aspect for exploration in the discussion. 

  1. Creating community-driven solutions

Achieving quality education is crucial, where grassroots and local communities can effectively be involved in creating solutions that serve the best interest of learners and their communities. Key players such as educators, policy makers, CSOs/NGOs are integral in this strategy; hence, participants shared ideas for inclusive, scalable and culturally responsive educational interventions. 

  1. Capacity building for teachers

Another important aspect of the engagement was the need to strengthen teachers’ skills through capacity-building programs that equip them in their professional development. There is a need for teachers to embark on continuous learning in training programs and workshops. Participants proposed some foundations of training in modern pedagogy, digital literacy and emotional intelligence, to improve teaching and academic excellence of students. 

At the end of the day’s activity, the event was reflective of fostering great connections, trust, confidence and a buy-in into IMPLEMENTERS’ initiative, while also championing a collective effort of each constituency, of advancing their strategies and advocacy, to further garner institutional, government and grassroots support.

IMPLEMENTERS is also continuously raising its flag of transformational education in project management, through its flagship program – the  Yamoransa Model Labs Program. The program remains a beacon of innovation, providing students across Ghana with access to cutting-edge digital tools and learning environments that prepare them for the future of work.

ISSR was not just an event but a call to action, highlighting the need for collaboration, dialogue and shared commitment to equity and excellence. We appreciate all stakeholders participating in this session, and we look forward to deepening our partnerships as we continue designing and implementing solutions that transform lives.

The second edition of the Africa Nonprofit Summit (ANPOS 2025) successfully concluded on Wednesday, May 13, 2025, bringing together over 100 participants from nonprofit organisations across Ghana. Organised by NCVO Ghana and Partnership Bureau, in partnership with IMPLEMENTERS and EcoPeriod Pad, the event was held at the ISSER Conference Hall at the University of Ghana, Legon, and served as a powerful convening of stakeholders committed to strengthening the nonprofit sector in Africa. This year’s summit, held under the theme “Advancing Nonprofits: Innovation & Action for Greater Impact,” lived up to its name by delivering engaging conversations, thought-provoking sessions, and meaningful connections among participants.

The event opened with welcoming remarks from the KGL Foundation, one of the summit’s key sponsors. Nii Ankonu Annorbah-Sarpei, the Foundation’s Programmes Manager, acknowledged the immense contributions of NGOs to development across Ghana, emphasising their critical role in transforming lives and communities. The summit then moved into a series of impactful sessions led by seasoned professionals from various sectors, focusing on key areas essential for nonprofit growth and sustainability.

Discussions around organisational compliance explored how nonprofits can strengthen their internal structures and governance systems to build resilience and credibility. Capacity-building sessions tackled the challenge of scaling nonprofit operations effectively while staying aligned with mission and values. Financial management and fundraising were also major highlights, offering participants practical strategies for donor engagement, sustainable financing, and resource mobilisation.

IMPLEMENTERS, in its role as an implementing partner, led the Communications and Marketing strand. This session focused on how nonprofits can tell their stories more powerfully and engage audiences across digital platforms. Akosua Kwafo Ogyiri, Communications & Media Manager at WaterAid Ghana, delivered a session on the power of storytelling for nonprofit growth, encouraging participants to move beyond facts and figures and instead connect with people on a human level. Alex Offei Lartey, Head of Digital Marketing at AT Ghana, followed with a dynamic workshop on digital and social media strategies tailored to the nonprofit context, helping organisations think creatively about their online presence and community engagement.

ANPOS 2025 created a space for learning, sharing, and building relationships. Participants left with actionable tools, new insights, and meaningful connections to support their work. It was an inspiring reminder that the nonprofit sector is full of dedicated individuals and organisations committed to solving real challenges through innovation, action, and collaboration.

At IMPLEMENTERS, our involvement in ANPOS is a reflection of our commitment to empowering nonprofits, strengthening systems, and driving impact where it matters most. We continue to work together with our partners to build a stronger, more connected nonprofit ecosystem across the continent.

ANPOS 2025 was proudly sponsored by KGL Ghana Foundation, STAR Ghana Foundation, and PwC, with media partnership from GHOne TV, Starr FM, and Sunny FM. With its growing momentum, ANPOS continues to be a vital platform for inspiring change and advancing the mission of nonprofits across Africa.
