Shortly referred to as GESI, it is a Star-Ghana funded project with an overall aim of ensuring that gender equality and social inclusion is systematically integrated in universal health coverage in Ghana.

The project engages some key state and non-state actors which are the Ministry of Health/ Ghana Health Service, National Health Insurance Scheme, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Local Government and Rural Development, Media and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Health to ensure the achievement of the overall aim.

Project implementation areas are South Dayi District in the Volta Region and Agona East and KEEA in the Central Region.

As part of the project activities, capacity of community members is being built to enable them to seek redress of gaps in the implementation of Government’s commitments, programmes and policies towards the achievement of UHC.
