The Advocacy Research Intelligence Group (ARIG) is a non partisan and non – profit making organization with the mission of fighting for peace and justice. Advocacy research intelligence group seeks to fulfills its mission by organizing lecture, debate s symposium, door to door interaction, rallies street education and research. ARIG was established i
n May 2012 by four young individuals who happened to have attended the same junior high school. Their idea came about in the year 2008 when their country Ghana was about to have their 5th Elections at that time there was a little bit of political tension in the country so they had the idea of creating and NGO which will campaign for peace and bring a little calmness in the country even though there were other NGOs in the country who were doing that, they felt their method of campaigning for peace was a little different from what was already being done. However as time went on a little bit of calmness returned to the country so they felt the other NGOs have done a fantastic job so why set up an NGO to do the work which is being done effectively, in 2012 the political tension return again pending election so the group cam e together again to ask their self what is going on, are we always going to have political tension in the country whenever we are about to have election? What can we do to make the political tension if not eradicated, minimized in a bearable state during and after elections, hence the establishment of ARIG. Currently the NGO is being funded by the directors of the NGO.
