SEND GHANA Appoints First Female Country Director: A Milestone in Leadership and Advocacy

In a historic development for Ghana’s democratic journey, SEND GHANA proudly congratulates Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang on her election as the country’s first female Vice President. This achievement in the recently concluded presidential and parliamentary elections marks a turning point for women’s leadership in Ghana and across Africa.

This victory serves as a beacon of hope for women and girls aspiring to leadership roles. SEND GHANA believes that this feat will inspire greater participation of women in politics and governance, paving the way for equitable representation and progress.

As an organization committed to gender equality and empowering women and girls, we applaud this victory as a beacon of progress. This milestone aligns closely with SEND’s ongoing initiatives to promote women’s leadership and representation in decision-making processes.

Earlier this year, SEND GHANA celebrated its own leadership transformation by appointing its first female Country Director. Together, these milestones signify a growing recognition of women’s important roles in governance, leadership, and sustainable development.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s leadership brings renewed hope and opportunities for women in Ghana. SEND GHANA looks forward to her policies driving inclusive development and gender-focused initiatives.

In addition, we urge Prof. Opoku-Agyemang to champion the effective implementation of these policies to maximize their benefits for women across the country.

SEND GHANA remains committed to supporting efforts that foster an inclusive society, where all women can aspire to and achieve leadership positions.
