The Social Investment Fund (SIF) was set up in 1998 under the Companies Code 1963 (ACT 179) by the Government of the Republic of Ghana, African Development Bank (AfDB) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a rapid, reliable and flexible mechanism for channeling resources to deliver targeted assistance to both Ghana’s urban and rural impoverished communities.

SIF is governed by Board of Directors. SIF employs effective institutional collaboration and cooperation coupled with the right targeting of beneficiaries and gender mainstreaming to create opportunities for the poor and vulnerable. SIF also collaborates with Private and Government institutions by offering to them relevant consultancy services.
