Ghana: Improving survival chances for mothers and children - securing livelihoods
The chances of survival for mothers and children are unequally distributed worldwide and worse in Ghana compared to other countries. The mortality risk of women of child-bearing age and the mortality rate of children under 5 is high. Women play a central role in Ghanaian society.
