Ghana is collaborating with five other West African countries in a research project aimed at improving the health and quality of life of women, newborns, children and adolescents in the sub-region.
They are Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger, Sierra Leone and Senegal.
The research project, funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada, is aimed at strengthening transformative leadership capacities in West Africa to encourage improved institutional and government use of health research and scientific evidence to influence policies and interventions in the health sector.
