Kuami Eugene joins UNICEF Ghana to promote universal birth registration

Renowned Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has partnered with UNICEF Ghana to champion a campaign in the Eastern Region's Bepoasi, with the aim of promoting universal birth registration. The initiative saw Eugene and a UNICEF delegation, led by its new Representative Andy Brooks, visit the remote farming community. Here, residents participated in a registration exercise and a community event highlighting the importance of birth registration.

Bepoasi, situated in Ayensuanu District, is home to over 3,000 individuals, many of whom are involved in farming. UNICEF stressed that a lack of official birth records can hinder access to vital services and basic rights for children, such as education and other public services. During the visit, UNICEF and its partners emphasized the significance of universal birth registration as a crucial step towards formally recognizing and accounting for every child.
