Abstract
This report provides the most comprehensive national scale data on MSM in Ghana that then can be used to inform evidence-based programming targeted at a known population with tailored services reducing new HIV infections and improving the care and treatment for MSM. I am confident that the data is comprehensive to providing the information necessary to inform programme implementation to achieve the targets as outlined in the National Strategic Plan (NSP) of HIV/AIDS 2016-2020.-
