"When Afrobarometer asked about the most important women-related issue, Ghanaians pointed to the lack of women in influential positions in government. This is a call to action. We must create more opportunities to mentor younger women in leadership, because if each of us can support even one woman to rise, it will be a gain for us all." @JAppiahNyamekye , Director of Communications, @afrobarometer

Ghana's agri sector contributes significantly to the economy and supports nearly 40% of the population.
However, it faces climate risks like droughts, floods & wildfires.

A key to lifelong learning is being as eager to hear "you're wrong" as "you're right."
Small minds crave validation. They surround themselves with people who share their convictions.
Great minds prize discovery. They gravitate toward people who stretch their thinking.
