GNA journalists begin training in advocacy on health, MSMEs, others

Tamale, Sept. 11, GNA – More than 40 journalists and editors of the Ghana News Agency (GNA) have begun a four-day skills development training to equip them effectively to advocate Micro, Small, Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs), public health and climate-change related issues to facilitate Ghana’s economic recovery.

The training, being held in Tamale, is also aimed at empowering participants to champion gender equality issues towards holistic human resource development.

Designed to enhance the role of journalism in Ghana’s recovery and rebuilding efforts after the pandemic, the training forms part of the Post Covid-19 Skills Development and Productivity Enhancement Project (PSDPEP).
