About

Ganle trained for his PhD degree in Public Health at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. Ganle trained as an interdisciplinary mixed research methodologist, and his research often combines social science and public health theories and methodologies to examine questions related to access to maternal, newborn and child healthcare; women’s reproductive health; abortion and contraceptive behaviour; disability, sexuality and reproductive health; gender and health, population and development, including aging and health; and community engagement and trust building in public health/biomedicine. Ganle is particularly interested in the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of vulnerable and marginalized populations including people with disabilities, people in informal settlements (urban slums), refugees and people in displacement/conflict situation. Recent projects he has led have focused on developing and testing novel interventions to improve access to sexual and reproductive health services and rights among these vulnerable populations. His work often takes an intersectional approach to these SRHR issues. 

Cumulatively, Ganle has over 10 years sustained research experience, and his research output includes over 65 peer-reviewed journal publications, two (2) book chapters, and several technical publications. Together with collaborators, Ganle has received and successfully managed local and internationally competitive research/fellowship grants worth over US$ 6million. 

In addition to pursuing his own research interests, Ganle has since August 2015, successfully supervised and mentored four (4) undergraduate students, 34 Master of Public Health (MPH) students, two (2) Mphil (Nursing) students, two (2) MSc Public Health Monitoring and Evaluation students, and four (4) MSc Bioethics students to conduct research on various topics related to sexual, reproductive and maternal and child health in Ghana and elsewhere. In particular, Ganle has been involved in supervising 22 PhD students (local and international) – 12 have successfully graduated, two (2) have submitted their thesis and awaiting examination, and 8 are at various stages of completion.

Ganle has also consulted for a number of organisations and projects. Between November 2019 and May 2020, Ganle consulted for the Reducing Maternal Mortality and Morbidity (R3M) programme in Ghana. His specific role involved documentation of the R3M Ghana programme’s history, processes, key programme and service delivery innovations, success stories and lessons learned. Ganle also consulted for The Hunger Project’s (Ghana) Maternal and Child Healthcare Improvement Project (Phase II) from March 2020 to June 2021 in the Eastern and Volta regions. His role involved conducting quantitative and qualitative evaluative assessment of the standardization and effectiveness of different training programme interventions being implemented under the Hunger Project’s (Ghana) Maternal and Child Healthcare Improvement Project (Phase II). This included evaluating the standard and effectiveness of training community health nurses and enrolled nurses to counsel clients, insert and remove contraceptive implants, as well as maternal, infant and young child feeding. From December 2020 to July 2021, Ganle consulted for Total Family Health Organization under its USAID Ghana Health Marketing Activity. His specific role involved conducting a nationally representative formative research involving over 2000 sexually active girls/women aged 15-49years to understand the ‘Feasibility of adopting a Total Market Approach to providing Contraceptive Implants and Intrauterine Devices in Ghana’. The study was implemented in six districts including Tamale Metro and Nanton district in the Northern region. From November 2021 to July 2023, Ganle and colleagues at the International Center for Evidence in Disability (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) worked on a Mastercard Foundation’s Young Africa Works: Disability Inclusion Research Partnership Programme. Our specific tasks involved i) landscape assessment on context, opportunities and promising practices around inclusive employment and education for young people with disabilities in seven African countries (Ethiopia, Ghana [Tamale, Kumasi and Accra], Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda); and ii) use of qualitative research methods to explore the lived experiences, barriers, gaps and solutions around inclusive employment and education from the perspective of young women and men living with disabilities. From November 2021 – present, Ganle has been the lead consultant engaged by a US-based private donor to document and evaluate the processes and lessons learned from the transition of funding from the Reducing Maternal Mortality and Morbidity (R3M) programme to the Ghana Health Service to institutionalise comprehensive abortion care services across all regions and levels of the healthcare system in Ghana. From February - May, 2024, Ganle led a team to consult for the Alliance for Reproductive Health and Rights. Our specific tasks involved conducting Gender Sensitivity and Intersectionality Analysis in Primary Healthcare (PHC) and Related Services in Ghana, including analysing key PHC-related policies to identify intersectional gender issues, developing a framework for analysis of gender and intersectional issues in PHC policy development and implementation, and designing an intersectional gender analysis framework applicable to PHC in Ghana.

Ganle is committed to a long-term research and mentorship career in Africa, with a particular focus on sexual, reproductive and maternal, child  and newborn healthcare for underserved groups. He welcomes collaborations in these areas.
