NGO in Ghana starts women's empowerment initiative.

There are several organizations working in Ghana currently that are focusing on women's empowerment. The Center for Responsible Democracy is launching a new program called the National Women's Forum to discuss issues specific to Ghanaian women. This particular initiative is also receiving support from the the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MOWAC).

The initiative, which is designed for women of different professions, capacities and capabilities, is expected to serve as platform for them to merge their various ideas that would contribute significantly towards national development.

Additionally, the programme is also aimed at enhancing the socio-economic and political status of women and to promote gender equality among them to increase gender mainstreaming.

Also, I can't write about Ghana without a quick shout out to my friend Mawuli's organization WISE (Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment) that he helped to start and develop.
