Act for Change is a youth-led NGO registered in 2011 based in James Town, Accra, an historic centre of the colonial slave trade and both source and destination for human trafficking in Ghana. They use forum/interactive and popular theatre as well as other participatory methods to advocate social issues that affect communities. Act for Change has been working mainly in Accra but also in the Eastern, Western, Central, and Northern regions targeting mainly young people, women and children.

The vision of Act For Change is to implement sustainable programmes where young people are able to access information and opportunities to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Its mission is to effect behaviour change and improve the quality of life using forum theatre and various tools to effect social change.

The objective of Act For Change is to empower young people through human rights training using informal education and training methodologies to develop their self-esteem and acquire vocational and life skills to help them make informed choices on issues that affect them and the community. They use interactive theatre to bring about behaviour change, thereby reducing anti-social and criminal behaviour, domestic violence and sexual abuse. Their programs also seek to promote the sexual and reproductive health rights of all marginalised and disadvantaged people within the community.

Act For Change will act as an advisor in the development of program content drawing on their extensive experience with victims and survivors of human trafficking. Act For Change will implement the theatre element of the Hope Education Project program for the pilot project and the subsequent roll-out within Ghana.
