Who We Are
GLOMEF Ghana — formerly known as the Global Media Foundation — is an independent, non-profit, development-oriented organisation working to advance social justice, human rights, accountable governance, and sustainable development in Ghana and beyond. We were established in 2005 and registered as a Non-Governmental Organisation in 2009, and in the years since we've grown from a media-focused initiative into a broader development organisation that empowers communities, strengthens institutions, and promotes inclusive development.
We're headquartered in Sunyani, in the Bono Region, and we work alongside government institutions, development partners, civil society organisations, traditional authorities, the media, academia, and local communities to respond to the social, economic, governance, and environmental challenges facing vulnerable populations.
What We Do
We believe sustainable development happens when communities have the knowledge, opportunities, and platforms to influence the decisions that affect their lives. That's why we use communication, advocacy, research, capacity strengthening, and partnership to promote transparency, inclusion, and community resilience.
GLOMEF Ghana started with a strong focus on media advocacy, human rights, and anti-corruption work. Since then, our work has broadened into a multidisciplinary development portfolio that responds to emerging national and global priorities — from governance and health to agriculture and climate action.
Our Approach
Everything we do is guided by participation, innovation, evidence, and accountability. We combine media and communication for development with community engagement, policy advocacy, research, institutional strengthening, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to deliver outcomes that last. Our interventions are community-driven and designed to build local ownership, while fostering partnerships across the public, private, and development sectors.
Working Together
We know collaboration is essential to sustainable development. We work closely with local, national, and international partners — government ministries, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), donor agencies, civil society and community-based organisations, traditional and religious authorities, schools and universities, the private sector, and the media — to maximise impact and create change that lasts.
