Creating Better Places to Learn and Grow in North East Ghana 🇬🇭🇰🇷
Every child deserves a safe and supportive place to learn, play, and grow.

Through the partnership between KOICA and ChorogUsan, together with local partners Children Believe and AG Care, young children in Ghana’s North East Region are gaining access to improved kindergarten learning environments and quality early childhood education.

At Kukua Kindergarten, children are now learning in a newly constructed kindergarten supported by the project. The project is not only improving physical learning spaces, but also supporting teachers to strengthen their teaching practices through lesson planning, interactive learning activities, and Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

Parents and communities are also an important part of this journey. Through Learning Through Play (LTP) activities and the participation of School Management Committees and PTAs, parents and caregivers are becoming more engaged in their children’s learning and development.

And the work continues. New kindergarten facilities are being developed at Zangum and Sumniboma, helping expand access to better learning environments for more children.

Together with our partners, we are working to ensure that improved classrooms, stronger teachers, and engaged communities translate into better learning opportunities for young children in Ghana.

💙 2026 KOICA WFK Annual Conference: Sharing, Learning and Growing Together

On 4 September, the KOICA Ghana Office held the 2026 KOICA WFK Annual Conference with nine Long-term Volunteers currently serving in Ghana.

The Annual Conference was organized as an opportunity to strengthen communication between the KOICA Ghana Office and volunteers, as well as among the volunteers themselves. Through sharing field experiences and good practices, the program aimed to encourage mutual learning and further motivate volunteers in their activities.

The conference began with a training session on Project Design Matrix (PDM) and performance management, designed to strengthen volunteers’ capacity to plan and manage their activities more effectively. Each volunteer also presented an activity report, sharing their progress, achievements, challenges, and lessons learned from the field.

During a conversation with the KOICA Ghana Country Director, volunteers had an open opportunity to discuss concerns, questions, and experiences arising from their activities. A more reflective session followed, as each volunteer wrote a “Letter to Myself One Year from Now,” capturing their current thoughts and hopes for the journey ahead. 💌

The conference also featured a Volunteer Photo Exhibition, offering a glimpse into the diverse moments and experiences of their service in Ghana. Outstanding activity reports and selected photographs were recognized at the end of the program. 📸🏆

Through continued communication, reflection, and mutual learning, KOICA Ghana will continue to support our volunteers in making their time in Ghana both meaningful and rewarding.

🚙 Three Vehicles Handed Over to Strengthen RMNCAHN Services in Ghana

On 2 September, three vehicles were officially handed over to the Ghana Health Service (GHS) as part of the “Improving Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAHN) Service Delivery by Strengthening the Networks of Practice (NoP) in Ghana” project.

Supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA, the vehicles have been allocated to the Central, Eastern, and Ashanti Regions. They will support field officers and regional teams in carrying out supervision, monitoring, coordination, and community outreach activities, ultimately contributing to stronger primary healthcare delivery in the beneficiary areas.

At the handover, KOICA Ghana Country Director Mr. D**g Wan Woo reaffirmed the Republic of Korea’s commitment to improving healthcare outcomes in Ghana through sustained partnership. He highlighted the role of the vehicles in facilitating essential project activities at the regional, district, and community levels and encouraged the beneficiary regions to utilize them effectively to advance the objectives of the RMNCAHN NoP project.

GHS Director-General Dr. Samuel Kaba Akoriyea emphasized the importance of operational sustainability, effective resource management, and local ownership. He also reaffirmed GHS’s commitment to maintaining the vehicles so they can provide long-term support to field teams and healthcare delivery.

As the project’s procurement partner, UNICEF supported the procurement of the three vehicles. Procurement of additional essential medical equipment and supplies for health facilities in the target regions is also being finalized as part of the project.

Through the RMNCAHN NoP project, Korea and Ghana continue working together to strengthen frontline health services and help ensure that quality healthcare reaches mothers, newborns, children, adolescents, and communities where it is needed most.

🌍 Savannah Regional PHEOC Officially Inaugurated to Strengthen Emergency Preparedness and Response

On 1 September, the Savannah Regional Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) was officially inaugurated in Damongo to strengthen the region’s capacity to prepare for, detect, coordinate, and respond to disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.

Supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA under the “Increasing Health Security Capacities through the Global Health Security Agenda (2nd Phase)” project, the centre will serve as a regional hub for coordinating emergency operations, managing and analysing health information, facilitating communication, and supporting rapid decision-making.

In her remarks, KOICA Ghana Deputy Country Director Ms. Boyeong Choe described the inauguration as an important milestone for both the Savannah Region and Ghana’s broader public health emergency preparedness efforts. She emphasized that the centre represents an investment in decentralized health security, while stressing that its impact will depend on sustained operation, continuous staff training, and regular testing of emergency response procedures.

Dr. John Ekow Otoo, Savannah Regional Director of Health Services, explained that the PHEOC will serve as the region’s “nerve centre” for public health emergencies. Through continuous monitoring and analysis of health data, the centre will support early detection and rapid response, while bringing relevant institutions together under the One Health approach to share information, resources, and coordinate action.

Hon. Salisu Yussif Biawurbi, Savannah Regional Minister, emphasized that the inauguration represents the establishment of a coordinated emergency response system rather than merely the opening of a physical structure. Highlighting the region’s particular need for vigilance against emerging health threats, he formally declared the Savannah Regional PHEOC open.

Through continued partnership, the Government of the Republic of Korea, KOICA, and the Government of Ghana are working to strengthen early detection, coordination, and rapid response for a more resilient public health system.

GIMPA Deputy Rector Prof. Ebenezer Adaku highlighted the growing importance of technology and digital capabilities, encouraging the participants to continuously strengthen and actively apply these skills to enhance productivity as future leaders.

Mr. Olufemi Adewumi, Programs Director at MEST Africa, emphasized the value of the connections built during the program and encouraged participants from the five countries to maintain their networks, support one another’s growth, and create new opportunities together.

Representatives from the participating countries also reflected on their shared two-week journey and called on their peers to use the knowledge and experiences gained through the program to create positive change in their communities.

Prof. Byungchun Kim, Director of the HDP-Nexus Research Center at Hallym University, together with Mr. D**g Wan Woo, presented certificates to the participants in recognition of their successful completion of the private sector training.

As the 107 participants return to their respective countries, the program leaves them with a shared responsibility: to transform their knowledge, ideas, and networks into practical solutions and opportunities that contribute to Africa’s development.
