Ghana Education Service (GES) Lively Minds Programme, Community dynamics: Drivers of success and challenges

Thrive - Report | Ghana | 23rd June 2025

This study explores the community-level dynamics of the Ghana Education Service Lively Minds programme (GES-LM). This parenting-focused early childhood care and education (ECCE) intervention aims to address two key challenges for child development in Ghana: low quality kindergarten education and limited parental knowledge and practice of ECCE at home. Currently, GES-LM is implemented in 3,500 schools/communities across northern Ghana, reaching just over 250,000 children and 127,500 mothers.

An accompanying insight brief is available here.
