A FIVE-DAY governance training workshop on women participation in governmental processes has ended at Kpetoe in the Adaklu-Anyigbe District of the Volta Region.
The workshop which attracted 28 participants formed part of the three year governance project in 20 districts being undertaken by Women in Law and Development in Africa (WILDAF) with support from European Union.
It was dubbed “we know politics: good governance through increasing women’s participation in Ghana’s processes”. The workshop will also lead to the formation of a Coalition of Women in Governance (COWIG).
Closing the ceremony, Mr Michael Kobla Adzaho, Adaklu-Anyigbe District Chief Executive (DCE) hoped that the workshop would put women in the right perspective to participate in the democratic process.
Mr Adzaho expressed the hope that the COWIG so formed would continue to train women to attain leadership position in the district assemblies and parliament.
“ I am sure the workshop will equip you with the requisite knowledge and skill and sharpen you in politics,” he noted.
Topics treated included gender, women participation and representative in politics, governance, local government system, power and governance and team-building.
