Description: 
ACDEP is an ecumenical network of church-sponsored development projects. It is the largest and most experienced NGO and rural development agency in Northern Ghana. We are looked up to by government and NGOs in the region as a pioneer, a pace-setter and an important partner in the socio-economic development of the region. Starting in 1977 as a loose, informal gathering of church development professionals for the purpose of sharing experiences, ACDEP has gradually transformed itself to provide a forum and a framework to enable and manage collaboration between our 40+ member NGOs and government organizations. The Secretariat can effectively act as single point of access to implementing NGOs providing services across 800+ communities, across the 3 northern regions of Ghana. The projects range in focus across development areas: water, rehabilitation, agricultural, health and nutrition.

The Association of Church-based Development NGOs (ACDEP) is a network of over 40, largely, but not only, church sponsored development NGOs in Northern Ghana. The Development Secretariat of the network is located in Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region. Our primary focus is the socio-economic development of Northern Ghana as a whole and the rural poor in particular. The NGOs are engaged in the fields of Agricultural Development, Micro-finance, Primary Health Care, HIV/AIDS, Water and Sanitation, Climate Change Adaptation, Rural enterprise development for women’s groups and Value chains / Market Access. Through these programmes, ACDEP works with rural communities to improve livelihoods, household food security, good health and poverty reduction in northern Ghana.

The ACDEP Secretariat is the nerve centre for all the NGOs in the network which are mainly located in rural communities. It is a reference point for information generation and knowledge sharing for the network, government agencies, and NGOs involved in similar development fields.

The Secretariat is also responsible for facilitating development programmes and capacity building for all the NGOs in the network and establishing linkages between the NGOs and resource institutions and individuals.

Unity in Diversity
As a development agency ACDEP’s development philosophy is guided by the principles of sustainable human, social and economic development. Development must be equitable, gender sensitive, environmentally friendly, culturally respectful, and socially just. We believe that development is about emancipation, empowerment, awareness raising, capacity building, development of the people by the people, and providing opportunities for socio-economic improvement. We believe in the power of the people to make the desired changes in their lives. Development is about improving or building on what people have and creating the awareness and opportunity for self-growth. Development is about economic emancipation, equity, justice and peace.

Our Main Objective
The main objective of ACDEP is, via the Secretariat, to provide a collective platform for the participation of churches in this socio-economic development across a full range of services including Agriculture, Health, Enterprise Development, Gender and Inclusion.
