The Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future (O3) project (2020 -2021) implemented in the Central and Upper East regions of Ghana worked to ensure that young people in Ghana realize positive health, education, and gender equality outcomes through sustained reductions in new HIV infections, unintended pregnancy, and sexual and gender-based violence.
The project thus employed strategies to enable young people reach their full educational potential and contribute more effectively to the growth and development of Ghana.
With support from UNESCO, Curious Minds Ghana engaged diverse stakeholders in Talensi (Upper East region) and Asikuma Odoben Brakwa (Central region) through community durbars, fun and educative radio programmes outside broadcasts with community members, (and at the national level) youth-focused social media campaigns, virtual capacity building training/webinars, and essay competitions among others, we engaged young people across the country with Reproductive Health Education (RHE), while advocating for policy and practice changes to make communities safer and inclusive for young people, particularly girls. Through the project, we worked to institutionalize health and well-being programs for young people while engaging leadership for long-term commitment and sustainability.
