Political Empowerment of Women Means Economic Empwerment of Society

In 2004 25 women were nominated to parliament, lamentably 2008 recorded an even lower number of 20. In 2004 there were 5 women parliamentarians from northern Ghana. This figure reduced to 2 in 2008. FOSDA's Gender Equity Programme resolves to work on improving women's political representation at all levels. As a human security oriented organisation and guided by the UN Resolution 1325 FOSDA has developed this programme focusing on most marginalised groups in the country. The next local government elections would see alot of activism on the election of women into district assemblies especially in the designated savanna belt which include the three northern regions and some parts of northern Volta and northern Brong Ahafo Regions.
