One of the key project SWIDA – Ghana runs, the Women – LEAD, which has made a lot of impact in the Northern Region and beyond, as it continues to provide opportunities for young people, especially women, to not only take up leadership positions, but excel in those positions.
The Savannah Women Integrated Development Agency (SWIDA – Ghana), has been implementing the “Women Empowerment for Leadership and Action for Development (Women-LEAD)” in the Tamale Metropolitan and Sagnarigu Municipal Areas.
As part of the activities on this project, SWIDA – Ghana has held a review meeting to look at the work it has done so far, the achievements that have come from the inputs and what needs to be done to advance on the path towards achieving the objectives.
There was also a training on COVID – 19 Preventive Protocols for the volunteers from the ten selected communities under the two project areas.
The volunteers were made to present their observations as they work with SWIDA – Ghana on the Women – LEAD Project, as well as the challenges they have encountered doing their work through the communities.
The volunteers made their presentations in turns, which brought out a number of very important issues for the team to consider, including the need for intensifying COVID – 19 sensitization in the communities.
The agenda for the engagement of the day and the presentations made by the volunteers called for some action plans to be drawn to guide the work of the project team going forward.
This was done, as roles and responsibilities were assigned to each volunteer and members on the project team, to allow for the achievement of better results.
The Women – LEAD, is a three – year project and is being funded by Global Affairs Canada and Plan – Ghana, under the auspices of Plan International’s “Women’s Voice and Leadership” project in Ghana.
