🌍 AFRICA AT THE CENTRE 2026 | LEADING CHANGE, SHIFTING POWER. 🌍

Three days of meaningful conversations, bold ideas and collective action came to a close yesterday, but the journey to put Africa at the centre continues.

ICDP Ghana, together with partners under the Ghana Community-Led Development (CLD) Collaborative, was proud to showcase how communities and local organisations are driving change and putting Community-Led Development into action across Ghana.

From our Korle Gonno 2.0 retreat at Hillburi to the Africa at the Centre convening and closing session, we have strengthened connections, shared learning and renewed our commitment to shifting power.

When Africa leads, communities thrive. When communities lead, Africa moves forward. 🌍✊🏾

🌍 AFRICA AT THE CENTRE 2026 | LEADING CHANGE, SHIFTING POWER.

ICDP Ghana, together with collaborators in the Ghana Community-Led Development (CLD) Collaborative, gathered at Aburi to discuss how to strengthen community-led development through learning, knowledge exchange and local leadership.

At the Africa at the Centre (AATC) 2026 Summit in Accra, conversations have focused on African ownership, shifting power, strong leadership and sustainable development.

As Ms. Bell Ribeiro-Addy reminds us, “If Africa is at the centre, then we must admit where Africa has been kept until now: at the margins of decisions about its own future.”

The message is clear: Africa must be at the centre of decisions about its own future. It is time to lead the change and shift power. 🌍

Long distances, high transportation costs and limited access to diagnostic equipment can delay antenatal care and prevent -related risks from being identified early. For a mother waiting for answers, every delay can increase uncertainty, and sometimes the risk to both her health and her baby’s.
Through the Initiative, ICDPGhana is helping to close this gap by bringing portable screening and maternal health outreach closer to communities.
