SWIDA Ghana, under the UCARE Project, continues has been monitoring the monthly neighbourhood meetings with Gender Model Family (GMF) households in the Savannah Region, to track progress and address challenges in the implementation of their GMF Action Plans.
During the recent meetings, families reported encouraging progress, particularly in the redistribution of household chores. This shows a growing commitment to shared responsibilities within homes. However, some challenges were also highlighted including;
Some adolescents shared concerns about limited involvement in family decision-making. Some men also mentioned the lack of energy-saving equipment such as bicycles and motorbikes in supporting to reduce household workload.
In response, families committed to actively involving adolescents in household decision-making processes. Men were also encouraged to continue supporting their families by finding practical ways, within their means, to help reduce the burden of domestic workload.
SWIDA Ghana remains committed to promoting inclusive, supportive, and gender-responsive family systems that foster harmony and shared responsibility.
