CLIP HISTORY, MISSION & VISION
​
Changing Lives in Innovative Partnerships (CLIP) started as a rural development programme with the aim to increase self-help capacity and improved living conditions for the populations in rural communities of Yendi, Gushegu and Karaga districts in the Northern Region of Ghana. CLIP was established as a package to promote children’s education, especially girls and provide livelihoods support to families in the Northern Region of Ghana.
Since then its main activities have been focused on water supply, hygiene & sanitation, food security and environmental management as well as micro-credit promotion.
