Conference on Women in Leadership in the Public Sector

Theme: Breaking Barriers, Building Impact: Advancing Women’s Leadership in the Resetting Ghana Agenda

The Public Service Commission convened a high‑level conference on Women in Leadership in the Public Sector under the theme “Breaking Barriers, Building Impact: Advancing Women’s Leadership in the Resetting Ghana Agenda.” The conference underscored the indispensable role of women in driving institutional transformation and advancing Ghana’s national development agenda.

A central focus of the deliberations was the implementation of the Affirmative Action (Gender Equity) Act, 2024 (Act 1121). This landmark legislation establishes a binding framework to promote gender equity and progressively increase women’s representation in leadership and decision‑making positions across the public sector. Participants emphasized the urgency of deliberate institutional reforms, robust compliance mechanisms, effective monitoring frameworks, and sustained capacity‑building initiatives to ensure the full operationalisation of the Act.

The event was graced by the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. Naana Opoku‑Agyemang, alongside Hon. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, Hon. Ebi Bright, and other distinguished dignitaries. Their presence reaffirmed government’s unwavering commitment to advancing women’s leadership and enforcing gender‑responsive policies.

The conference concluded with a resounding call for collective action to dismantle systemic barriers, deliver measurable impact, and entrench women’s leadership as a strategic pillar of Ghana’s Resetting Agenda.

Notable attendees included: Mrs. Anita Disu, Mrs. Lydia Ansong, Mrs. Lomoki Tei, Ms. Perpetual Lamptey, Ms. Gloria Ligay, and Ms. Nana Ama Opoku.

On 27th January 2026, the Authority received a delegation of investors from Turkey who expressed interest in exploring investment opportunities within the railway and port sectors.

The meeting was attended by the Board Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer Dr. Frederick Appoh, and Technical Directors of the Authority. During the engagement, Dr. Appoh delivered a comprehensive presentation on ongoing railway projects, with particular emphasis on the progress of works along the Western Line.

The Western Line has been identified as a strategic priority for the Authority. As part of the broader development agenda, attracting private investment into this corridor remains central to accelerating infrastructure delivery and unlocking its economic potential.

The investors shared their perspectives and raised pertinent concerns during the discussions. They assured the Authority that they would revert with feedback after further internal consideration.

Next Steps:

Await formal feedback from the Turkish delegation.
Continue to position the Western Line as a flagship project for private sector participation.
Maintain engagement with potential investors to sustain momentum in the railway and port development agenda.
