Ghana Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics (GAND) is a body that brings together all Ghanaian nutritionists, dieticians and all other related professionals

All hands on deck. Health financing is a shared responsibility.

Private sector, foundations and NGOs must partner to bridge funding gaps because a healthy workforce drives productivity.

Share your thoughts.

More resources matter but so does efficient use.

Bridge funding with a clear strategy to transition to domestic financing can help close urgent health commodity gaps.
Sustainable systems need both funding and efficiency.

Be an advocate and speak out.

Undernutrition is not just a health issue.

Poor #MCN limits cognitive development, reduces human capital and slows national growth.

Are we willing to risk the impact of an undernourished mother and child on the nation's economy?

Bridge funding should be transitional, not permanent.

Development partners can fill urgent commodity gaps but establish strategies toward domestic financing for long-term sustainability.

What's your take?

Grassroots funding can start small.

A “one cedi campaign” led by CSOs could help mobilize community support for maternal and child nutrition.

Small contributions for collective impact.

Poor coordination is weakening nutrition outcomes in Ghana.

NDPC should lead a high-level Inter-Ministerial Committee to align nutrition efforts across sectors.

Paying staff ≠ funding implementation

Many nutrition programmes in Ghana still rely on partners despite government funding the workforce. We need protected budget lines for implementation to ensure sustainability.

Comment to show support.

Structured contributions = greater impact.

A national CSR policy could help mobilize private sector resources for MCN and other development priorities.

Share to support smarter development financing.

Ring-fence health taxes for nutrition now.

Taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, alcohol and tobacco should be earmarked for maternal and child nutrition programmes.

Share if you support sustainable health financing.

No supplies. No trust.
Chronic underfunding is causing stock-outs of essential health commodities undermining quality care delivery.
A reliable system must be consistently equipped.

Let's advocate for better funding and supply systems now.

The end of key USAID-funded projects could reverse positive outcomes and trigger behavioural relapse in our communities.

We cannot afford to lose progress.

Share and advocate for sustained investment in nutrition.

Up to 95% of Ghana’s nutrition programmes rely on donor funding.

That’s not sustainable. We must strengthen domestic investment to protect maternal and child health long-term.

Share this and advocate for a self-reliant nutrition system.

#NourishingFutures #InvestInNutrition

[Ghana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics @OfficialGAND]

Ghana can’t rely on external funding forever.

It’s time to invest in a resilient locally driven nutrition system. The future of mothers and children depends on it.

Speak up. Advocate for sustainable nutrition solutions.
