The First 1,000 Days of the Child Campaign is activated by the Ghana Coalition of Civil Society Organizations for Scaling up Nutrition (GHACCSSUN) with Noble Nketsiah as National ambassador.

“As Ambassador, my primary responsibility include partnering GHACCSSUN in raising awareness (national and internationally) and funds to sustain the campaign,” Noble said in an interview.

The campaign’s development partners at the event include representatives from USAID, World Vision, JICA, GIZ, Care International, FAO, UnReach, NDPC, WFP and UNICEF, Gain, Hunger Project and CRS. They will be working with Noble on theproject.

“Funds raised will be channelled to prosecute 1,000 Days of the Child campaign through awareness creation, advocacy, community outreach and public education to influence policy direction, instigate behavioural change and enhance national commitment to increase investment in child nutrition in Ghana,” Verus Nartey, Noble Nketsiah’s Executive Producer/Manager said.
