The Ghana Philanthropy Awards brings together leaders across various sectors, including education, health, and the environment, to highlight the importance of philanthropy and social responsibility.
This year, CDKN Ghana stood out for its dedication to climate awareness and resilience-building in the country.
CDKN Ghana has been at the heart of climate action efforts, helping young people, farmers and local leaders understand the effects of climate change on their daily lives and the actions they can take to reduce its impacts.
Through hands-on programs like climate literacy exhibitions, workshops, and interactive events, CDKN brings climate knowledge into community conversations, encouraging practical solutions and empowering people to take action.
Receiving the philanthropy award is a testament to CDKN Ghana’s dedication to climate action and sustainable development.
“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition. At CDKN, our mission has always been to empower communities with the knowledge and tools to tackle the climate crisis head-on. This award reaffirms our commitment to supporting climate resilience and sustainable development across Ghana. Together, we can drive the change needed to secure a better future for generations to come,” said Dr. Prince Ansah, Country Lead, CDKN Ghana.
CDKN Ghana’s impactful work is made possible through the generous support of its funders, including the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. Their unwavering commitment to climate resilience and sustainable development has been instrumental in enabling CDKN to deliver transformative climate education and empowerment programs across Ghana.
As CDKN Ghana looks to the future, the organization remains committed to expanding its climate literacy efforts and deepening its impact.
The Ghana Philanthropy Award not only celebrates what CDKN has accomplished but also inspires ongoing support for sustainable, climate-focused development across Ghana.
