GrowthAid
GrowthAid will collaborate with other organizations to celebrate the day. An encounter with the media is planned for the day where we will highlight the importance of the day and emphasize the need for integrated planning for water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and NTDs. We also plan to distribute information materials on selected NTDs relevant to Ghana. By the end of the day, we hope that there will be greater awareness of the need for more investments to help speed up the elimination of NTDs.
