The showcasing of local know-how and openness to new ways of working in SBC, health and beyond is something we really appreciate. It may seem small, but when the Ghanian government is seen using new approaches, it helps to reverse decades of colonial mentality.

You’ve taught me to believe that you can get people excited about this work — that you can bring together a fantastic group of people and really make a difference.
Senior Programme Officer
