GDCP

Ghanaian Danish Community Programme

History
Since 1984 GDCP (Ghanaian Danish Community Programme) has been working in the Tolon/Kumbungu district in Northern Region which is one of the 7 districts constituting the kingdom of Dagbon. From being a tiny programme, only working in four villages with one Dane employed who went about on his bicycle and helped people realise their ideas of development, it has now grown into a big programme with many different activities, with many Ghanaians employed and only one Dane, a Friendship Co-ordinator.

Community Projects
GDCP mainly worked within the sectors of education, water and health The first projects were dams in Tali and Tolon and the Dalun Clinic. Now the water sector has been phased out and a number of school structures have been erected. The principle of help to self-help is the basis of all the projects.
