It is a non-governmental organization that is registered and working in Ghana; West Africa. The name Prime Initiatives was chosen to signify that the organization develops and implements the most significant and crucial initiatives or interventions/projects that are critical to the welfare of people especially marginalized groups and rural communities.

The strength of the organization is hinged on its close collaboration with the communities or grassroots who are the beneficiary of the projects.
The organization started as a research group in 2013 where we offered consultancy services to NGOs on their project implementation and evaluation. In 2017, Prime Initiatives was formed and registered as an NGO. The organization is registered per the statutes and laws of Ghana.
