Secrets for the NGO Vault: How to start an NGO in Ghana

We started a new series over at G-lish about how to start and run your own NGO in Ghana. We're in the process of setting up our own and we felt that those who aspire to set up an NGO in Ghana, or in Africa, or anywhere for that matter, may find this useful. If you're looking for NGO work, we'll be talking a little about that too.

We'll be posting over the coming weeks all the steps required in Ghana with contact details to relevant agencies.

We'll also be posting sneak peaks into our "Glish NGO diaries", the trials and tribulations. Lots of that, I can tell you.
