Government is on track to meet the 30 percent target for women in leadership by 2026, under the Affirmative Action Act, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, has said.
She said Ghana had hovered around 25 per cent for some time and was hopeful of reaching the benchmark next year.
Dr Lartey made the remarks at the opening of the African Women in Leadership Organisation's (AWLO) HeForShe Summit in Accra.
The summit was held under the theme: "Redefining Masculinity: Men as Catalysts for Women's Development." It brought together AWLO leaders from across the continent, alongside other women's groups, to discuss inclusive leadership and gender equity.
