Global Media Foundation (GLOMEF), a not-for-profit organisation based in Sunyani, the Bono regional capital, has secured over £300,000 from Botnar Foundation under its initiative - Healthy Cities for Adolescents through Ecorys UK.
The Healthy Cities for Adolescents programme is a multi-year initiative by Foundation Botnar to promote the health and well-being of adolescents in intermediary cities across the global south.

Six countries, including Colombia, Ghana, Senegal, Vietnam, India and Ecuador, are beneficiaries of the initiative.
Healthy Cities for Adolescents promotes young people as crucial contributors and equal partners in creating sustainable solutions for their growing cities.
A statement issued and signed by the CEO of GLOMEF, Raphael Godlove Ahenu, said the 36-month project aims to empower adolescents in Sunyani socially, politically and economically to be active citizens.

He added, ‘‘these adolescents will demand their rights, create jobs, and actively engage in decision-making processes at the city level’’.
Foundation Botnar provides grants to help test, scale and enable projects that work with young people to tackle the issues they face in their cities, considering both primary health and socio-economic factors that have impact their physical and mental well-being.

The initiative, according to Mr. Ahenu, would be carried out by a consortium of partners, namely Citizens Watch Ghana, Indigenous Women Empowerment Network as primary partners and Ghana Health Service.
Others are Ghana Education Service, Catholic University of Ghana, Fiapre, National Youth Authority, Sunyani Municipal Assembly, Sunyani West Municipal Assembly, Ghana Enterprise Agency, and Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (GI-KACE).
The Sunyani City Project, code-named ‘‘Resilient City for Adolescents (RCA)'' led by Global Media Foundation, will be launched on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, by the Bono Regional Minister, Justina Awo Banahene.
