Development Partnership
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.
