FES Ghana

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is the oldest political foundation in Germany. It campaigns for freedom, justice and solidarity.

[Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang @NJOAgyemang]

I received Mr. Martin Guettler, Resident Director of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Ghana. Over the years, FES has been guided by a commitment to improving the quality of life, promoting equity, and creating opportunities for marginalized groups.

I commend FES for supporting women’s leadership and encourage them to continue training programmes that equip women to participate more actively in governance and public life. After the passage of the Affirmative Action legislation, attention must now turn to effective implementation.

We also highlighted the importance of investing in Ghana’s youth by building their confidence, skills, and leadership capacity, because Ghana’s youthful population presents both a challenge and an opportunity.

We concluded the meeting by committing to continue working together to promote inclusion, leadership development, and sustainable social progress. Our doors remain open to partnerships that advance these objectives.

Digital platforms are reshaping work, but many workers face low pay, instability, and little protection. 📱 Apps control jobs and wages with limited transparency.

This #LabourDay2026: recognise all workers, ensure rights, and protect fair conditions. ✊

A Due Diligence legislation with strong social and environmental protection will not only ensure that our products are free from child labour, slavery and environmental destruction, but it will especially improve the lives of people that work along the global supply chain. Let us listen to our friends and partners. 🌍

Do you know Ghana loses an estimated 135,000 hectares of forest annually?
Government after government has failed to protect our forests. What can the next power holder do to secure them?

Biodiversity is the web of life that connects us all.
The next government of Ghana MUST commit to defending Ghana’s Biodiversity. They can do so while creating #GreenSpaces in urban areas that will allow biodiversity thrive.

Political parties participating in this year’s elections can already make #GreenCommitments to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) to secure the health and wellbeing of Ghanaians. The flyer tells how.
