The Centre for National Culture in the Savannah Region has successfully concluded a campaign against child marriage, reaching eight communities across two districts.

The initiative, funded by UNICEF under the Ghanaian Against Child Abuse (GACA) program, mobilized community leaders and stakeholders to raise awareness about the dangers of child marriage.

In the Bole District, the campaign was rolled out in Mandari, Kiape, Sakpa, and Mankuma, while Nyange, Nakwabi, Gbongbonduori, and Blema were the targeted communities in the Sawla/Tuna/Kalba District.

This comprehensive effort spanned from 30th September to 13th October 2024, drawing active participation from local authorities, community members, and key organizations.

The centerpiece of the campaign was a series of live drama performances that vividly portrayed the devastating impact of child marriage on girls’ futures.

These performances sparked powerful discussions among community members, inspiring many to pledge their support for ending child marriage.

Alongside the drama, presentations were delivered by representatives from the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU), Ghana Education Service (GES), Ghana Health Service (GHS), and the Department of Community Development and Social Welfare.

“We are grateful for the strong support from UNICEF and the active involvement of our local leaders in this campaign,” said Azumah Ibrahim, Regional Director of the Centre for National Culture.

“These performances have left a lasting impression on the communities, and we are hopeful this will contribute to reducing the prevalence of child marriage in our region.”In partnership with the Births and Deaths Registry, over 100 birth certificates were issued to newborns, giving parents a renewed sense of security for their children’s future.

“This program has enlightened our community on how crucial it is to prioritize the welfare of our children,” said Chief Salfanaa Kafitang II, chief of Safalba community in Mandari.

The campaign concluded in Blema on 13th October 2024, with enthusiastic community participation throughout the two-week period.

The effort represents a crucial step forward in Savannah Region’s commitment to protecting its young girls and ensuring they have the opportunity to pursue education and a brighter future.UNICEF’s support has been vital in ensuring the success of this program, which also aligns with national efforts to address child marriage.

Community leaders, school children, and families are now more aware of the lifelong consequences of this practice and are motivated to work towards eradicating it.

As the campaign comes to a close, the Centre for National Culture and its stakeholders are committed to continuing these efforts, expanding outreach to more communities in the future and working towards a future where every girl in Savannah Region can grow up safe, healthy, and empowered.
