Context
UNESCO Accra promotes the Organization's objectives and ideals in Ghana by contributing to global peace, poverty alleviation, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through a wide range of the Organization's expertise.
UNESCO Accra acts as advisory body in determining policies with regard to UNESCO and its programmes: it fosters close co-operation between state agencies and services, professionals and other institutions with the aim of advancing mutual knowledge and understanding of UNESCO's work towards the common welfare of human-kind.
Over the years, the office has implemented various interventions spanning education, culture, science and communication and information. However, information dissemination has not been thorough. Our assessment indicates that appointing a focal person to assist with communication dissemination would help ensure it is carried out in a timely and effective manner.
