Participants at the community engagement
Youth leaders, religious and traditional leaders, assembly members and other community gatekeepers have been engaged to strategically promote community-based reproductive health education in Nanumba North, Saboba and Nanton Districts in the Northern Region of Ghana.
The community engagement was part of activities under the Youth for Health (Y4H) project which is co-funded by the European Union, and implemented by the Ghana Health Service with support from the Youth Advocates Ghana (YAG).
The activity was carried out in 12 communities in the three selected districts. The implementing communities were introduced to the Y4H project while identifying and engaging various stakeholders to deepen collaboration for a successful execution of the project.
The stakeholders, mainly traditional and religious leaders, and assembly members in various communities expressed their appreciation for the project and pledged to support YAG and partners in the implementation to help improve the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents in their communities.
