The MISAICAK project was a COVID-19 response initiative that supported mitigation efforts among residents of the Ashiedu Keteke sub-metropolitan assembly. It complemented two of the five objectives outlined by the Government of Ghana to mitigate the spread and impact of COVID-19 in Ghana.
Specifically, the project by the end of September 2020, intensified community education to ensure the prevention and spread of the virus among communities; strengthened and enhanced community knowledge and attitude towards physical distancing; and advocated against fear, discrimination and stigmatization of individuals and families infected and affected by the virus.
As part of actions toward implementing the project, hand washing, sanitation, and hygiene products were stationed at vantage points in the target community, and sanitary practices were enforced. The French Embassy funded the project.
