Education Ministry, Gates Foundation consider partnership to boost Ghana’s malaria research
More than GH¢2 billion has been absorbed by the government to limit the impact of rising international petroleum prices on Ghanaian consumers, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Godwin Kudzo Tameklo, has said.
The Ministry of Education and the Gates Foundation are exploring a potential partnership to bolster Ghana's capacity in malaria research. The talks, which focused on fostering local expertise in emerging malaria-control technologies, included discussions around the development of malaria-free mosquitoes, technology transfer, and institutional capacity building.
During a meeting between the two parties, the Education Minister emphasized the importance of equipping Ghanaian researchers with the necessary technical skills and resources to adapt and implement these technologies locally. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the country's research ecosystem, reduce malaria transmission, and support Ghana's ambition to eliminate the disease.
