ORGANISATIONAL PROFILE: Inclusion For All – Ghana (IFAG)

1. Introduction
   Inclusion For All – Ghana (IFAG) is a registered non-governmental, non-profit, and non-partisan organisation (Company Limited by Guarantee). Recognising that traditional approaches to disability rights often focus on addressing existing prejudices, IFAG has adopted a pioneering, preventive strategy. We believe the most effective way to foster an inclusive society is to prevent prejudice from forming in the first place by empowering the next generation with accurate information and inclusive values.
2. Mission Statement
   To empower the next generation with accurate information about disability, foster values of inclusion and acceptance, and create a Ghana where all children value diversity and persons with disabilities are fully integrated into all aspects of society.
3. Core Values
   IFAG’s operations and interventions are guided by six foundational values:

• Inclusion: Respecting the rights and dignity of all persons, especially persons with disabilities.
• Respect for Diversity: Celebrating differences in ability, culture, gender, and background.
• Accountability: Ensuring transparency in decisions, finances, and programme delivery.
• Integrity: Upholding the highest ethical standards in all activities.
• Empathy: Demonstrating compassion and understanding toward children and persons with disabilities.
• Evidence-Based Action: Designing programmes and policies informed by data, research, and best practices.

1. Strategic Objectives & Key Pillars A. Education and Awareness
   IFAG targets the formative years of children to instil a culture of acceptance.
