Brief Background

Capacity Enhancement and Community Support (CAPECS) was founded to respond to the rising need for a result-oriented and credible local organization in Northern Ghana to protect vulnerable and excluded groups, and alleviate poverty using proven, tested, innovative, market-based and rights-based approaches. The organization previously existed as community-based organization and got incorporated on 2^nd March, 2017 and has been engaged in building the capacity of vulnerable people and communities with the view to widening their livelihood opportunities, promoting household economic security, improving health and nutrition, education and protecting the rights of women, children and youth

CAPECS thus exists to ‘empower the vulnerable by creating the enabling environment in their communities to help them realize their talents and exercise them to improve their lives’.

CAPECS is inspired by the vision of ‘a world of freedom in which all manner of persons have equal access to opportunities irrespective of their backgrounds’.
