Combatting GBV – a new model implemented throughout the Northern Ghana

To reinforce protection against widespread Gender Based Violence, GBV, Oxfam and Norsaac, a local partner, in collaboration with local authorities have developed a new exemplary way of combatting GBV.

This new promising model, named “Agenda 55” is an integrated system, encompassing the entire region which has managed to get full commitment from all 55 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, (MMDAs) and Regional Coordinating Councils.

This is expected to lead to full registration of incidents, improved services for survivors and elimination of fees for hospital checks.
