Naabans Foundation is bringing together media professionals, small NGOs, and community leaders for a groundbreaking Media Engagement Program designed to strengthen the relationship between grassroots organizations and the media. This event will focus on how the media can play a key role in resource mobilization and donor engagement, especially for small NGOs in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
Why This Media Engagement Matters
Across Ghana, small NGOs are driving impact in education, health, and livelihood empowerment. But despite their dedication, many face funding challenges and struggle to get their stories heard. Without visibility, their work remains in the shadows, and opportunities for donor support are lost.
The Naabans Foundation Media Engagement is a strategic platform to address these challenges. It will explore how the media can amplify NGO stories, attract funding, and build public trust — turning community impact into headlines that inspire action.
Event Topics
This year’s engagement will focus on two key discussions:
- The Media’s Role in Resource Mobilization and Addressing Funding Challenges for Small NGOs in the Eastern Region
- Exploring how local and national media can bring attention to grassroots initiatives and attract critical funding.
- Leveraging Media Influence to Drive Donor Confidence and Support for Grassroots NGOs
- Understanding how powerful storytelling and media coverage can secure long-term donor partnerships.
Who Should Attend?
- Small and grassroots NGOs
- Journalists, editors, and media houses
- Donors and funding agencies
- Community leaders and advocates
Expected Outcomes
By the end of the program, participants will:
- Understand how to position NGO work for media coverage.
- Learn what media outlets look for when selecting community stories.
- Gain practical tips for using media to attract funding and partnerships.
- Build stronger networks between NGOs and media professionals.
