UNFPA Ghana declared 2019 a year of preparation for a Decade of Action and Achievement (2020–2030). It was a significant year for all of us at UNFPA as we celebrated 50 years as an organization and 25 years of the ICPD Programme of Action, the blueprint that guides our work.
The Ghana Country Office worked daily with policymakers, partners, friends, young people and other stakeholders, and sought out innovative methods and ideas to gather momentum for a decade of action and achievement. We looked at problems differently and came up with solutions that will provide an endless stream of value to our funding. We realized that business as usual cannot continue, and that innovation will be the most important factor in our success.
