The Head of the Civil Service has directed all chief directors of the service to develop gender action plans and gender targets in their performance agreements for next year.
The Head of the Civil Service, Dr Evans Aggrey Darkoh, who gave the directive, said this was in line with the Service's commitment to integrating gender mainstreaming in all activities and programmes of departments and agencies.
Dr Darkoh was speaking yesterday via Zoom at the opening of a two-day workshop in Cape Coast for gender desk officers on the introduction of National Gender Diversity Taskforce (NGDT), Policy Frameworks and Action Planning.
It was organised by the Emerging Public Leaders in collaboration with the Office of the Head of Civil Service to equip participants with strategies for advocating gender-inclusive leadership and addressing intersectional gender barriers in the public sector.
