Anonymised consultation data and reproducible Python code for a study of international development partnerships and nonprofit capacity in Ghana. # International development partnerships and nonprofit capacity in Ghana Data and analysis code for the paper *International development partnerships and nonprofit capacity in Ghana: review and practitioner evidence* by Sandra Makafui Asiadze (2026). **Preprint:** [add DOI and link after deposit] ## What this paper does The paper asks under what funding and partnership arrangements international development partners can strengthen the contribution of Ghanaian nonprofits to national development goals while preserving local ownership and organisational autonomy. It combines an integrative review of the scholarly and policy literature with telephone consultations held in July 2026 with a representative of each of eleven Ghanaian nonprofit organisations. This repository contains the anonymised consultation data and the code that produces Figure 1 of the paper. It does not contain the manuscript, which is available at the preprint link above. ## Contents | File | Description | |---|---| | `consultation_matrix.csv` | Thematic coding of the eleven consultations. Rows are organisations, anonymised by sector and organisational type. Columns are challenge themes. Values are binary: `1` means the theme was raised by the respondent, `0` means it was not raised, which does not establish that the challenge was absent. | | `consultation_matrix.py` | Loads the coding matrix, validates it, and generates Figure 1. Validation rejects non-binary values, duplicate organisation labels, missing theme columns, and an unexpected row count. | | `Figure1.png` | Figure 1 as published, 300 dpi. Regenerated by the script above. | | `requirements.txt` | Python dependencies. | ## Reproducing Figure 1 ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt python3 consultation_matrix.py ``` This writes `consultation_matrix.png` and `consultation_matrix.pdf` to the working directory and prints the theme totals. The output is byte-identical to the `Figure1.png` supplied here. Expected totals: funding vola …
