World Vision Ghana Launches $12M THRIVE 2030 Project

World Vision Ghana is making significant strides in building community resilience and sustainable livelihoods. This is being achieved through the implementation of its $12 million Transforming Household Resilience in Vulnerable Environments (THRIVE 2030) project, which is expected to span three years.

The project seeks to drive inclusive and innovative approaches to economic empowerment, digital transformation, and capacity building across Ghana’s rural and peri-urban communities.

Speaking during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with its partners to implement the project on Friday, May 30, Justice Tiiigah, the Program Manager of the project for World Vision Ghana, expressed hope that the project will succeed and benefit over 320,000 households.

“We expect, at the end of the day, in three years, we should be able to reach our destination, where at least we expect to see 400,000 participants’ incomes doubled, and also at least see over 5,000 savings groups formed, sustained, and digitised using the DreamSave app. Again, we expect to see over 5,000 producer groups sustaining their production and be able to double their incomes.

“We’ll be using the eDrive platform, the Digimart from ESOCO, and other platforms to ensure we monitor them. Apart from that, we also intend to monitor with them, so that at every stage, we reflect, we evaluate what we have done, and then we move forward”.

The MoU brings together various partners, including VisionFund Ghana, Farm Concern International, Ghana Commodity Exchange, Fairtrade Africa, Pangea Africa, and Esoko, with each contributing unique strengths to a shared vision of economic empowerment and climate resilience.

World Vision Ghana takes the helm, addressing the root causes of poverty and advancing child well-being. VisionFund Ghana supports this drive with essential microfinance services, including loans and insurance,e designed to empower vulnerable caregivers, particularly women.

Farm Concern International injects technical prowess in market development and digital ecosystems, while Ghana Commodity Exchange opens market access via its robust digital trading platform for agricultural commodities.

Fairtrade Africa ensures ethical trading practices and sustainability remain cornerstones of the initiative. Pangea Africa accelerates entrepreneurial growth through mentorship, funding, and strategic networks, and Esoko rounds off the collaboration with real-time agronomic advisories and market data, delivered in local language, seeks to transform livelihoods across Ghana’s rural and peri-urban communities.
