The Informal Hawkers and Vendors Association of Ghana (IHVAG) was formed in 2003, and registered in 2005. It was formerly called StreetNet Ghana. Currently, there are over 6,000 members, who work in street and market trading; approximately two-thirds of the members are women. The organization has six branches in two cities, and is governed by an executive committee of five women and two men.

IHVAG partners with the GA-East Traders Union and the Ghana Trades Union Congress, and is the Ghana national affiliate of StreetNet International.
