To address the gap in basic education, an NGO works. A non-profit organisation called United Way Ghana has started its Improving Basic Education (IBE) campaign to help close the achievement gap in the nation's basic schools.

The plan includes Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 4, 8, and 17, which aim to increase access to the delivery of high-quality basic education in disadvantaged areas as well as provide everyone with a decent place to work through partnerships that benefit both parties.
The Ghana Library Authority, Ghana Education Service, Engage Now Africa, and other partners are working together on the initiative.
The Larry MacDonald Family Foundation will provide funding for the IBE initiative over a three-year period. Planned for implementation in Parkoso and Ejisu, it will last three years.
