With funding from DANIDA, SWAA has undertaken a one-year intensive promotion of the female condom use in five selected regions namely Ashanti, Eastern, Western Central and Volta. 

These regions were selected at random since a promotion had already been done on a national scale and this second phase being an intensive promotion was concentrated in the southern half of the country due to logistic constraints.

This project, which started in July 2002, aimed at contributing to the reduction in the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS on women through the promotion of the use of the female condom to enhance women’s reproductive health rights. SWAA recently embarked on Female Condom promotion in the Greater Accra Region with funding from the Ghana AIDS Commission.

The aim of this programme was to train at least thousand people in advocacy and the use of the female condom.
