2023

In May 2023 we hosted a lifestyle intervention research and capacity building workshop at Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) - University of Ghana, focusing on nutrition, weight, and physical activity behaviours.

At the workshop we developed new collaborations between CLiMB, other UK and European institutions and universities in Ghana (University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Health and Allied Research and University for Development studies), and Kenya (The Technical University of Kenya) to identify interventions and policies to prevent, treat and manage the growing burden of non-communicable diseases in Africa.

2024

In May 2024 we returned to Ghana to delve into the findings of our first research project and to discuss our next project.

CLiMB Ghana's reach has expanded and we are delighted that Ensign Global College have now joined us.

The visit coincided with a wider Loughborough University delegation to Ghana and Nigeria, strengthening the institution’s links in the region across the research themes of climate change, health and sports.

2026

In April 2026 we returned to NMIMR for our third CLiMB Ghana meeting. It was a highly productive session, with rich discussions that will help shape the next phase of our work. 

These conversations continue to reinforce the importance of working with communities to co-produce meaningful and sustainable approaches to noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention.
