Ghana

Africare has contributed to Ghana's advancement since 1989. The first project in that country was food production in the village of Abomosu. Village-level development assistance has also gone to Alavanyo Wudidi. Africare's major area of activity in Ghana has been health. In 1989, building on earlier work in The Gambia, Africare began a series of projects to help the Ghanaian Ministry of Health to strengthen its systems for the management and distribution of essential pharmaceuticals. An HIV/AIDS prevention initiative was launched in 1999, followed by a large child survival project.

Current Africare assistance to Ghana:

  • Child survival
  • Malaria control and prevention
  • Village development
