Gender ministry to implement Adolescent Pregnancy Strategy
As part of the government's effort to ensure a coordinated response in addressing the issue of teenage pregnancy in Ghana, the Department of Gender, under the auspices of the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Protection, held a one-day review meeting with stakeholders on the Implementation of Adolescent Pregnancy Strategy on Tuesday, 13 December 2022, in Accra.
The stakeholder meeting aimed to review and track the progress of implementing the Adolescent Pregnancy Strategy based on the specific activities and interventions outlined as critical in addressing unplanned adolescent pregnancies.
Speaking at the conference of the Regional Institute for Population Studies at the University of Ghana, Prof Stephen Kwankye said the effects of adolescent pregnancy are broad and that the measures for tackling it must be multi-faceted.
"Efforts at addressing these issues must go beyond the ministry," he said.
