Civil society organisations, health officials, and traditional leaders have called on the government to prioritise sustainable financing for Ghana's immunisation programme to safeguard children and citizens against preventable diseases.
At a Citizens' Budget Input Forum in Accra, Stephen Atasige, Country Coordinator for the Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI), said the forum provided an avenue for civil society organisations, religious leaders, and traditional authorities to contribute inputs into the 2026 national budget, with particular emphasis on vaccine financing.
The initiative, implemented in partnership with Hope for Future Generations (HFFG) under the Vaccine Advocacy, Sustainability and Networking (VASN) project, seeks to ensure adequate and timely funding for immunisation.
It is also being implemented under the Financing Immunization Advocacy Response (FAIR)Project with the objective to advocate for increased domestic resource mobilisation at the national and subnational level dedicated to Primary Health Care (PHC) and immunisation service delivery.
