SMART Africa Ghana- updates from the field

The SMART Africa-Ghana team have officially launched their pilot study in Tamale, after the team obtained an approval letter from the Tamale Metropolis Education Office to undertake the study in schools. The participating schools have signed the Executive Letter of Agreement. On November 29th, the SMART Africa team and BasicNeeds-Ghana co-hosted a meeting with parents and children to provide an introduction to the study. Following this meeting, the caregivers had the opportunity to ask any remaining questions they had about the study. All 67 caregivers who participated in the meeting indicated their desire to be a part of the study. Congratulations to the SMART Africa-Ghana team!
