Oxfam has been working in Ghana since the 1960s, supporting development projects throughout the country. During the 1990s, Oxfam’s work has become focused on the poorest regions in northern Ghana.

Oxfam's work in Ghana includes:

  • helping communities in northern Ghana to improve health-care and to dig wells for clean water

  • supporting rural women’s groups including TUWODEP (Tuna Women's Development)

  • setting up and continuing to support the Northern Ghana Network for Development, which is made up of 45 non-government organisations and community groups working to reduce poverty
