Trace Foundation, with support from the German Cooperation project on Strengthening Crisis and Pandemic Response in Africa, implemented by German Development Cooperation (GIZ) Office of the African Union (AU) has launched an awareness drive to increase COVID-19 Vaccination in the County.
The launch, which took place at the Airport View Hotel had prominent persons in the media and entertainment in attendance. The current drive complements efforts towards Ghana’s attainment of Head Immunity. This effort is a contribution to the AU COVID-19 Bingwa Initiative. “Bingwa” is a swahili word which means Champions.
The AU Bingwa Initiative is expected to be activated in various parts of the country, including Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi .
The initiative has established a network of COVID-19 vaccination youth champions across the country to accelerate the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination in Ghana to achieve a 70% vaccination rate on the continent.
