Push for the passage of the Affirmative Action bill to empower women- Dr. Atuguba

Midterm workshop

At the midterm workshop for the “Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW)” project of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Dr. Raymond Atuguba  said the Affirmative Action Bill, if passed, would address the legal and regulatory frameworks in the country that discriminated against women.

The workshop, on the theme, “Growth in West Africa: impacts of extractive industry on women’s economic empowerment (WEE) in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana,” was attended by graduate students and players in the extractive industry.

The research work, sponsored by the International Development Research Centre of Canada and the International Institute of Advanced Studies, is expected to be completed in September this year.
