Since its establishment in 2000, GETFund was conceived as a strategic vehicle to provide secured supplementary financing aimed at enhancing education infrastructure, expanded access to quality education and supporting human capital development across Ghana. The impetus for GETFund creation stemmed from the recognition that Ghana’s Education system suffered from structural deficiencies, especially in infrastructure and resources, which constrained learning outcomes and the equitability of access. Its founding mission is centred on channelling funding to bridge infrastructure gaps, procure modern teaching aids, foster conducive learning environment, and boost students skills thereby increasing learning outcomes.
