Shaping a More Inclusive Future

In Ghana, as in many societies, women continue to be underrepresented in political decision-making processes. At Jana Foundation, we are dedicated to changing this paradigm. Our mission is clear: to elevate the voices and influence of women in Ghanaian politics, creating a more inclusive and representative democracy.

The Need for Equal Representation

While women constitute a significant portion of Ghana’s population, their presence in political leadership positions remains disproportionately low. This imbalance not only hampers the diversity of perspectives in governance but also limits the scope of policies that directly address the needs of women and girls.

Our Strategic Approach

Jana Foundation employs a multi-pronged strategy to bolster women’s participation in politics, recognizing the pivotal role they play in shaping our nation:

Political Education and Training: We provide workshops, seminars, and training sessions to equip women with the knowledge and skills needed to engage effectively in political processes.

Advocacy for Policy Change: We collaborate with policymakers and advocacy groups to champion policies that promote women’s political participation, such as affirmative action measures and gender-responsive legislation.

Mentorship and Networking: We facilitate mentorship programs that connect aspiring women leaders with experienced political figures, fostering a supportive network that empowers them to navigate the political landscape.

Community Engagement: We work closely with communities to challenge stereotypes and biases that hinder women’s political aspirations. By fostering an environment that values and supports women leaders, we aim to shift societal norms.

Celebrating Women in Politics

We highlight the achievements and contributions of Ghanaian women who have broken barriers and made significant strides in politics. These women serve as inspirations for the next generation of leaders.
