The Joint Programme for Improved Access to Comprehensive Sexuality Education and Rights-Based Quality Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Ghana aimed to empower adolescent girls, including the most-vulnerable, through provision of gender-responsive comprehensive sexuality education and youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services, including family planning and contraception.
Funded by Canada and implemented by UNFPA and UNICEF, the programme spanned two years, 2018-2020. The two agencies worked in partnership with the government, academia, the private sector, the media and civil society organizations. Holistic, innovative approaches executed through existing national structures promoted national ownership and sustainability.
Special attention was given to vulnerable girls such as migrant and refugee girls and those with disabilities. In addition to working to improve access to services, it aimed to increase the capacities for adolescent girls aged 10-19 to defend and promote their own sexual and reproductive rights, and to create a favorable environment for the realization of those rights.
