Any entity from Ghana is welcome to apply: companies, government actors, non-profits, for-profits, education establishments, NGOs or individuals.

Themes

The two themes for which you can submit your project idea are listed below. Ideas should seek to address two or more of the guiding points under each theme:

1. Within the theme ‘Improved service delivery’  your projects should:

  •  Use technology to increase accountability and responsiveness of District, Metropolitan and Municipal Assemblies;
  • Use technology to strengthen feedback mechanisms from duty bearers at the local and district level;
  • Strengthen and promote use and adoption of ICT tools in government ministries, departments and agencies;
  • Promote citizen engagement and government accountability through open data and information sharing;
  • Make effective use of technology to ‘make all voices count’ through active engagement of women and/or marginalized groups or communities.

2. Within the theme ‘Improved electoral processes’ your projects should:

  •  Use technology and innovation for voter registration, voter identification and voter verification processes;
  • Use technology for election monitoring at district and national level;
  • Use technology to allow citizens to vet the electoral process including gaps in voter registration;
  • Use technology to allow media organizations effectively monitor and cover electoral processes at national and district level;

  • 1 – 2 winners of the competition will get incubation support for their ideas from Making All Voices Count, with mentoring. Incubation will include preparation for potential innovation grants of up to GBP 40,000 down the line, depending on:
    (i) the development of a proposal strong enough to warrant a grant and
