| Starting date | 2003 |
| Project's description | As no emergency contraception has ever been marketed in Ghana apart from the public institution, both CMS and PPAG have helped HRA to launch Norlevo in Ghana through the trainning of the teams by a local partner. They have also contributed to the trainning of the health providers and to the organization of an institutional campaign on emergency contraception (budget = 133.500 US$). |
| Number of units donated | N/A |
| Current situation | The supplying problems reduced much of the impact of the institutional campaign named "Emergency Contraception". After a tough start, the marketing of the emergency contraception has been perpetuated and its use is gradually rising. |
