The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization is a partnership of public and private organizations with a mission “to save children’s lives and protect people’s health by increasing access to immunization in poor countries.” GAVI pools donor resources to fund vaccine introduction programs, supports the development of new and underused vaccines, and improves vaccine delivery by strengthening health systems. The Ghana Coalition of NGOs in health with funding and technical support from GAVI supported DRAC as a member organization of the coalition to advocate for increased access to immunization and improve vaccines delivery by strengthening the health systems in the Bongo District of Ghana
Despite Ghana’s legal and institutional framework promoting good governance, transparency, and accountability, citizen participation in local governance remains weak. Many communities, particularly in rural and underserved areas, lack awareness of their rights and have limited platforms to engage in decision-making and public financial management. Challenges such as financial mismanagement, weak accountability structures, corruption, and inefficient public service delivery persist at the district level. Women and youth, in particular, face systemic barriers that exclude them from governance and budgeting processes, limiting their ability to influence development priorities. The Social and Public Expenditure Financial Management and Accountability (SPEFMA) Project aims to strengthen governance systems by enhancing financial accountability, transparency, and active citizen engagement in local decision-making. The project will: Empower citizens, particularly marginalized groups, to engage in governance. Improve fiscal discipline and compliance with audit recommendations. Promote gender-responsive governance by increasing women’s participation. Address inefficiencies in service delivery through improved budget tracking and expenditure monitoring. Strengthen anti-corruption measures and public trust in governance The project will directly benefit local communities, including youth, women, civil society groups, and traditional leaders, by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to demand accountability and participate in governance processes.
