In Ghana, many of these decisions sit within women-led activities across informal and small-scale systems. Recognising and strengthening this influence, will make circular systems more grounded in lived realities, local markets, and local solutions. @UNIDO @GAC_Corporate

Circular economies are built through everyday decisions, how products are designed, how materials move, and how value is distributed. #IWD2026 #BalanceTheScales #WomenInCircularEconomy #GoGhanaGoCircular #InclusiveDevelopment #GCEC
