Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has underscored the government’s ongoing commitment to fostering inclusion, leadership development, and social progress during a productive meeting with Mr. Martin Guettler, Resident Director of Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Ghana (FES Ghana).
The high-level discussion centered on deepening collaboration between the government and FES Ghana in the areas of women’s empowerment, youth development, and inclusive governance. Prof. Opoku-Agyemang commended FES Ghana for its consistent efforts to improve livelihoods and expand opportunities for marginalized communities across Ghana.
Highlighting FES Ghana’s achievements in promoting women’s leadership, the Vice President encouraged the organization to further broaden its training and mentorship programmes, equipping more women with the skills and confidence to participate fully in governance and public service.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang pointed to the passage of Ghana’s Affirmative Action legislation as a significant step forward, but emphasized that the focus must now shift to effective implementation to ensure tangible outcomes.
The meeting also stressed the importance of investing in Ghana’s youth through leadership initiatives, practical skills training, and confidence-building. The Vice President noted that the country’s large youth population represents both great potential and unique challenges, making it crucial to empower young people for national development.
Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to sustained collaboration aimed at driving inclusion, nurturing leadership, and advancing social progress. Prof. Opoku-Agyemang concluded by reiterating the government’s openness to partnerships that further these priorities and support Ghana’s broader development goals.
