About WOMEC

Women, Media, and Change (WOMEC)

Women, Media, and Change (WOMEC) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting gender equality, health, and social justice through media advocacy, education, and policy engagement.

About the project

“Nourish Ghana: Advocating for Increased Leadership to Combat Malnutrition” is a bold and transformative initiative led by Women, Media and Change (WOMEC), dedicated to advancing strong leadership and decisive action in the fight against malnutrition. With support from the Eleanor Crook Foundation (ECF), the project is driving efforts to strengthen national nutrition policies and ensure that decision-makers prioritize investments in high-impact, evidence-based interventions.

At its core, Nourish Ghana is about influence, collaboration, and impact. Through strategic advocacy, dynamic public engagement, and multi-sectoral partnerships, the initiative brings together parliamentarians, policymakers, civil society organizations (CSOs), the media, and community stakeholders to shape sustainable solutions.

By amplifying voices, fostering accountability, and mobilizing resources, Nourish Ghana is working to secure lasting policy reforms and increased funding for nutrition programmes, paving the way for a healthier, more resilient Ghana.
