Samson Deen Leads Push for Sustainable Funding for Ghana Sports

By thetrendscoop 2 min read

Samson Deen, Chairman of the newly constituted Resource Mobilisation and Partnership Committee, has pledged to work with members to deliver measurable results in support of the Reset Ghana Sports Agenda.

Speaking at the official inauguration of the committee on July 14, 2026, Deen emphasised that the appointment was not ceremonial but a call to action and a responsibility to help transform Ghanaian sport.

“Our acceptance of this role is a call to action,” he said, stressing the need for the committee to justify the confidence placed in its members.

Committee Mandate

Deen explained that the committee’s mandate includes:

  • Mobilising both financial and non-financial resources

  • Establishing credible local and international partnerships

  • Creating support avenues for sports development

  • Contributing to the rehabilitation and sustainable management of sports infrastructure

Inclusive and Accountable Approach

Deen said the committee would adopt an inclusive and accountable approach in carrying out its responsibilities. He noted that the committee will engage corporate Ghana, development institutions, diplomatic missions, international sports organisations, communities, and the media to build partnerships that can provide meaningful support for the development of Ghanaian sport.

He added that every partnership pursued by the committee must have clear objectives, transparency, and measurable deliverables.

Focus on Sustainable Partnerships

Deen said the committee would focus on building sustainable partnerships rather than relying on short-term funding arrangements.

“Our mandate is not simply to raise money for sport. Our mandate is to build a credible system that connects talent, investment, partnerships, and national opportunity,” he said.

He stressed that the success of the committee would ultimately be measured by the resources mobilised, partnerships established, and opportunities created for athletes and other stakeholders across the country.
