The Gender Studies and Human Rights Documentation Centre acts as the co-ordinator for a further six organisations:
- General Agricultural Workers Union (GAWU) – operating in the Eastern Region
- Associates in Development (ASSID) – Upper-West Region
- Centre for Development of People (CEDEP) – Ashanti Region
- Amasachina – Upper-West Region
- Centre for Sustainable Development Initiatives (CENSUDI) – Upper-East Region
- Bawku East Women’s Development Association (BEWDA) – Upper-East Region
As co-ordinator, the Gender Centre disseminates and shares information received from each partner – and plays a part in monitoring, evaluating and in the strategic planning and design of the project. It maintains an overall perspective on issues of and facts about violence against women in Ghana, and identifies strategies to address it.
The other project partners are responsible for managing, co-ordinating, supporting and implementing the COMBAT programmes in their local areas. They work in close contact with the community, stakeholders – such as social workers, health care workers and local Government officials – and the Gender Centre. The partner organisations also carry out their own advocacy, capacity-building and alliance-building work to complement the project.
