You cannot revoke what you haven’t awarded. Yes, they were set to award him on the 26th. They will no longer do so due to the concerns raised.

Why is Fourth Estate being attacked for doing what they’ve always done? Mommpɛ nokorɛ bio?

This story is particularly sad because her mum said she had been suicidal for a while. Had even tried to drown herself in a well. A reminder to make time for your teenage siblings/relatives. They’re going through stuff we may laugh at but at their age, is huge.

Room hot too much ebei. Beach too be expensive now. Which sweetwun get AC for house?

@OheneManu I may not be able to give an accurate figure for the box but I know the singles retail for around 3-5 cedis depending on the brand. And it’s usually 12 in a box.

@AbeikuLytle And how much do they sell per box retail?

Hate to be that guy but they will not sell/purchase markers one one in contracts like this. It’s in boxes. And that’s how GES also distributes them to the schools.

Yeah cos it makes perfect sense that they’ll buy 450,000 single markers and then box them up afterwards for onward distribution. Or you say they counted the markers in each box they bought and they all added up to 450,000?

your health minister and his camera men currently cleaning their camera to storm korlebu for answers soon. stay tuned.

POLICY MONITORING UPDATE 4: FREE SANITARY PADS FOR SCHOOLGIRLS. We have been monitoring the distribution and use of sanitary pads in schools since the rollout in August. Spending GHC 290 million to address period poverty in schools is a strong and commendable intervention once effectively, equitably and efficiently done. Girls and teachers in schools in Nabdam, Bongo, Tatale and other districts confirm that attendance among girls has improved. Some girls who previously missed up to four days a month due to lack of pads are now attending regularly. There is also improvement in hygiene. Some girls previously relied on improvised reusable cloths, which disrupted lessons during heavy flow. In some districts, teachers who used to spend their own money to support girls now have that financial burden lifted. We acknowledge and appreciate these kind hearted teachers. Also, we see the product is produced by a Ghanaian company. If it was produced in Ghana, then that’s great for jobs and income. Having said this, the following issues require urgent attention by government. Variation in absorption capacity: We found three types of pads produced by the same company thin, semi thick, and thick. Only Adenta received all three types, while the other districts received only the thin and semi thick. The thin and semi thick are not fit for purpose for girls with heavy flow, as some had to change up to three times during school hours, disrupting their focus in class. For others who received only 3 packs in 2025, they were inadequate to last the full school day. Inequitable distribution: While girls in districts such as Tatale Sanguli and Zabzugu received nine packs, others in Nabdam, Bongo, and Ledzokuku received only three. GES must ensure uniformity in distribution using evidence and data. Distribution without consideration of need: In districts such as Bongo and Nabdam, all girls from Primary 4 received pads regardless of menstrual status, while Adenta targeted only menstruating girls. Means testing must be uniform across districts. Moving forward: GES must strengthen the use of evidence to improve targeting and ensure distributive efficiency. While data on Primary 4 to JHS 3 girls can guide supply to schools, distribution must be based on menstruating girls, with schools reporting surplus to GES each term. We acknowledge the challenge in determining girls with heavy flow at the point of procurement planning. For ease of administration and to standardize quality, only thick pads should be distributed. The intervention must be mainstreamed into the draft inclusive education policy, finalized, and subjected to regular audits. Transparency is critical for accountability. Each year, the Ministry of Education must publish a report on the use of the GHC 290 million and make it publicly available. With this initiative, Ghana joins six African countries with national sanitary pad programmes in schools Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Seychelles. There is an opportunity for transnational learning, especially from South Africa, which has successfully targeted its programme at low income girls. South Africa uses a school based poverty classification system that groups schools by community deprivation using indicators such as household income, unemployment, and access to infrastructure to target distribution more efficiently. Eduwatch is happy to facilitate this learning opportunity. Finally, this intervention should not be left to Eduwatch to monitor and report to the public using its own resources. We don’t have cash. The Ministry of Education must report and publish annual programme and financial reports on all its interventions and policies.This was the biggest challenge of the past government and is becoming same for the current. Our team is currently working on the 2025 Policy Monitoring Report, which includes the sanitary pads programme, and it will be published by the end of April.

Oh God

Ekurase politics is where reputations are made so I don’t even blame him

@Morthy_Tim If you go back, you’ll notice she mentioned the beneficiaries from Greater Accra (her region, as regional minister). Nowhere in that statement did she say that money was specifically earmarked for only Greater Accra. It is for the whole program across the country.

@AbeikuLytle I’m not disputing the relevance of the policy. I’m talking about the outrageous cost. The minister said 292million for 1000girls. Unless you have information that the minister doesn’t have.

In Ghana, 4-9 out of every 10 girls (sources vary, also based on location) misses school when menstruating. In rural Ghana, almost 50% of girls use rags and other unhygienic materials as pad. That money isn't for 1000, it's for millions. Last year, over 6 million pads were shared
