The arrival of 600,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine through COVAX on February 24, 2021.
Op-ed by U.S. Ambassador to Ghana Stephanie S. Sullivan
Under the dire circumstances of this pandemic that has taken such a heavy toll on the world, the United States is grateful that Ghana is now better equipped to combat the virus. We welcomed the arrival of 600,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine through COVAX on February 24, 2021. On that day, I joined the Honorable Minister for Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, UNICEF and WHO country representatives, as well as Ambassadors of the UK, EU, Spain, and Italy to witness the delivery at Kotoka International Airport. This shipment was the first globally under COVAX, a global initiative to support equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, and was the first of millions more doses expected to arrive in Ghana this year.

Murugu, Savannah Region, GHANA On Thursday, January 28, 2021, ownership of the A Rocha Ghana shea butter processing facility and eight warehouses was transferred to nine shea cooperatives in the West Gonja District in the Savannah Region of northern Ghana. The new facilities are part of a U.S. Government effort to partner with communities, companies, and non-profit organizations in West Africa to expand economic opportunities for women. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) developed the facilities in partnership with the Global Shea Alliance (GSA) and Evolution of Smooth, a U.S. cosmetics brand. The facilities will increase incomes for 1,000 Ghanaian women who collect and process shea nuts. The project was also supported by two NGOs, A Rocha Ghana and Noé, both focused on the sustainable management of environmental resources.
