Programme Officer at Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR)

About the Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR)

The Alliance for Reproductive Health Rights (ARHR), established in 2004, is a network of Ghanaian Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community-based Organizations (CBOs) promoting a rights-based approach to reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) through advocacy, research, and capacity building.

ARHR leads several civil society organizations to advocate for strengthened health systems to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC), with an emphasis on increased investment in Primary Health Care (PHC). The organization convenes dialogues between civil society, the private sector, media, academia, and state actors to demand accountability in health resource mobilization, allocation, and expenditure using evidence-based information. ARHR further engages in policy advocacy by tracking gaps between policy and practice and utilizing evidence to inform policy reviews.
