The Mental Health Society of Ghana (MEHSOG) has urged policymakers to prioritize the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of public policies and programmes. Executive Secretary Humphrey Matey Kofie emphasized that disability considerations should be integrated from the initial stages of policy planning to ensure that the needs of vulnerable groups are adequately addressed.
The call came during a capacity-building training organized in collaboration with the Ghana Federation of Disability Organisations and the Africa Disability Institute, supported by the European Union Delegation in Ghana. The training aimed to strengthen participants' knowledge and skills in identifying, targeting, and including persons with disabilities in policy development processes.
