At t/2️⃣nd #AU-#UNICEF event on “Unlocking Human Capital: Investing in Vision, Hearing & Inclusion for Every Child in Africa,” H.E @amma_twumamoah affirmed: Disability should not interrupt a child’s dreams. We have an obligation to ensure it never becomes a barrier to their future

Frameworks alone will not save a child. Implementation, financing & political leadership will.
On t/margins of #UNGA81, H.E @amma_twumamoah met with @JoelCSpicer of @NutritionIntl to review progress of our partnership & joint efforts to strengthen food and nutrition security across Africa, supporting the mandate of @_AfricanUnion Nutrition Champion, H.M King Letsie III 🇱🇸.
On behalf of @_AfricanUnion Chair H.E @ymahmoudali, H.E @amma_twumamoah, at the Africa Care Forum, highlighted how the unequal distribution of unpaid care work limits women & girls’ access to education, employment, entrepreneurship, political participation & other opportunities.
“Successful return is not measured simply by whether a person crosses a border back home.
It is measured by whether that person can rebuild a life…”

Theresa went to have a baby.
Her husband went to the hospital hoping to leave with his wife and baby, instead, he was met with the devastating news that his wife had died during childbirth.💔
In 2025 alone, 965 women in Ghana died from pregnancy-related complications.
965 mothers. Daughters. Wives. Sisters.
And the frightening thing is, almost all of us know someone who went to have a baby and never came home.
We cannot continue to treat maternal deaths as unfortunate statistics.
I am calling for a bipartisan parliamentary inquiry into maternal deaths in Ghana to understand WHY women are still dying, identify where our systems are failing them, and demand clear, time-bound action.
This must also become a national conversation.
Because when we pay attention, when we put the right systems in place and when we are deliberate, WE SAVE LIVES.
No woman should leave home to give life and never return.
For Theresa and for every woman whose story never made the news.
We must do better and we can. 🙏🏽
Our collective health security depends on our shared responsibility.

As Ghana prepares to host the Extraordinary Summit on Health, the country has signed the Host Agreement with @_AfricanUnion.
The Agreement was signed by H.E Dr. @kenabotsi, Deputy Head of Mission, @GhanainEthiopia & Amb. Moussa Mohammed Omar, Deputy Chief of Staff of the #AU.
A wonderful evening with the Ghanaian community as H.E @amma_twumamoah joined H.E McArios A. Akanbong, @GhanainEthiopia Ambassador, for a watch party of the 🇬🇭 vs.🏴World Cup match, following the Ambassador’s successful presentation of credentials to the President of Ethiopia🇪🇹.
Is Benjamin Asare unaware of the rules, He keeps stepping off his line before penalty kick, which goes against the laws of the game. He did the same in the match against South Korea, and the referee let it slide.
He needs to fix this quickly. With VAR in place, every movement gets checked. Even if he saves the penalty, it will be retaken.
