Webinar: Gendered perspectives of the Ghana elections 2020

This webinar takes a look at the Ghanaian elections 2020 from a gendered perspective asking what important reforms were implemented in the last four years and what we can expect both from this year’s electoral process and from policy platforms charting the way forward.

Four years pass fast when there is much to do. The ruling National Patriotic Party (NPP) launched several expansive policies including of the free senior high school reform, the idea-based Ghana Beyond Aid policy, and the “one district, one factory” initiative. How did these reforms impact women’s lives? Where there promised reforms that never were realized or striking implementation issues affecting women and other marginalized groups?
