With funding from Population Action International (PAI), ARHR implemented the Primary Health Care Advocacy initiative from 2017 to 2022. It engaged national-level decision-makers, and stakeholders on the need to use PHC as a medium of achieving UHC in Ghana. It engaged the government of Ghana and its representatives to develop, adopt, and finance a consolidated essential health services package as part of national efforts toward UHC attainment.
Using a series of stakeholder engagements, budget analysis, and media interviews, the following key outcomes were achieved: increased understanding of a critical mass of CSOs on emerging issues within the national PHC landscape; increased CSOs’ knowledge and enhanced CSO advocacy for a strengthened PHC; and increased CSO-State Actors engagements to demand accountability and responsiveness in health system strengthening.
