The Association of Childless Couples of Ghana (ACCOG) is a Ghanaian non-faith based Non-Governmental
Organization. ACCOG provides a platform for childless couples to find options for accessible infertility care. It
provides counselling and other support services to childless couples to enable them to cope with their situation.<br>

Up to now ACCOG has not been able to secure
any funding for its activities with the exception of a
onetime support it received for its National
Conference held on March 15, 2014 at the Pentecost
Convention Centre in Gomoa Fetteh, Ghana. The
conference was unique and the first of his kind ever
organized in the world. More than 1500 infertile
couples attended the conference. The theme of this
meeting was “Hope for childless couples in Ghana”.
It was a co-organization of ACCOG and the Church
of Pentecost.
During this meeting different aspects of infertility
and childlessness were discussed, including the
consequences of childlessness namely marital
instability, increase in sexually transmitted diseases
and social insecurity as people give birth to more
children for economic reasons.

We encourage people to consider adoption as an alternative

Infertile Ghanaian women experience many psychosocial consequences of childlessness such as social stigma, marital instability and mental health problems including worrying, crying for long periods, and insomnia
(Fledderjohann, 2012)

400 childless couples and individuals have interacted with ACCOG.
