Informal workers Zenabu Abrahamanu (right) and Asetu Somana (left) sell bananas at Agbogbloshie Market. With support from WIEGO, many kayayei (head load porters) in Agbogbloshie have experienced improved social protection. In 2012, WIEGO facilitated a Health Policy Dialogue in Accra with key government, civil society, and informal sector stakeholders, including the kayayei themselves. This allowed the kayayei to discuss and share experiences of Ghanas National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) with key health policymakers, who identified possible ways to incorporate these workers into the scheme and explored strategies to provide them with support in accessing health services. It was a successful result: 1,000 kayayei were able to register and gain better information on available health care services through the Ghanaian National Insurance Scheme.
