The Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC), in partnership with the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), has provided HIV prevention and control training for some newly recruited Ghana National Fire Service officers in the North East Region.
The training formed part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on June 18, 2025, between GAC and YEA, led by Dr Kharmacelle Prosper Akanbong, the Director-General of GAC, and Mr Malik Basintale, the Chief Executive Officer of YEA, to provide HIV prevention and control training to the youth.
The MoU thus culminated in the first-ever HIV training session for YEA newly recruited Ghana National Fire Service officers at the Wungu Fire Service Training School in the North East Region.
Mr Nuhu Musah, the Northern Regional Manager of the GAC, during the training, said it marked the beginning of a broader national effort to integrate HIV education into youth development and security service programmes.
