The Alliance implemented a five-year SRHR programme (2016 – 2020) called “Get Up Speak Out” (GUSO) targeted at young people between the ages of 10 – 24 years. Six out of the eight Alliance’s members implemented the GUSO programme in Ghana. These are Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG), Hope for Future Generations (HFFG), Savanna Signatures, NORSAAC, Presbyterian Health Services-North (PHS-N) and Curious Minds.

The geographical areas where the GUSO Programme was implemented were in four (4) districts (Tamale Metro, Sagnerigu, Gushegu and East Mamprusi) in the Northern region and two districts (Bolgatanga Municipal and Talensi district) in the Upper East region.

The GUSO programme was anchored by the following core principles: structural and meaningful participation of young people; inclusiveness; positive and rights-based approach; gender transformative approach and programming and sustainability.

The GUSO programme was funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs through a Consortium of International Organizations based in the Netherlands and UK. These Organizations include Rutgers, IPPF, Simavi, dance4life, CHOICE and aidsfonds.
