π¬π Honored to Serve Ghana Once Again
A few weeks ago, I had the rare privilege of engaging with High-Level Royalty at the National House of Chiefs on βThe Role of Traditional Leaders in Ending Child Marriage in Ghana, One Paramountcy at a Timeβ, a powerful example of how tradition and progress can walk hand in hand.
This amazing opportunity was made possible by the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, with support from UNFPA Ghana.
I presented:
β’ A brief on the Concept Note and Methodology on the Ending
Child Marriage in Ghana, One Paramountcy at a Timeβ Project
β’ Paramountcies covered so far and their further engagements
(Avatime, Oguaa, Akwamufie, Agona Nyakrom, Anfoega,
Tagba/Ave-Hevi and Bongo)
β’ Key challenges and success stories
The session sparked a rich Q&A and concluded with a strong Call to Action for Paramount Chiefs to champion the Ending Child Marriage in Ghana, One Paramountcy at a Time initiative in their communities.
Grateful to share space with distinguished officials present, including:
β’ Mr. Wilfred Ochan, UNFPA Ghana Country Representative
β’ Dr. Doris Aglobitse, Program Specialist, SRH and Gender Team
Lead, UNFPA Ghana
* Mr. Richard Obeng, Deputy Director and Head of Religious
Affairs Unit (MLGCRA)
* Nana Osei Fosu Adutwum , Kwasohene
* Gh-UNIQ Queenmothers present and many others.
Together, we are building momentum to protect the future of our children, one community at a time.
