FOSDA Highlights Funding Gaps in Ghana’s WPS Plan

FOSDA's Director, Mrs Dorothy Barnes, emphasized the need for sufficient funding to support the implementation of Ghana’s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security (WPS). She stated that inadequate financing has hindered the delivery of key activities under the programme.

According to Mrs Barnes, only three out of the 46 activities under the Second Ghana National Action Plan (GHANAP II) had been fully implemented, while 24 were partly delivered, 11 recorded limited delivery and eight were not implemented.

The call for adequate funding was made during a stakeholder validation meeting on the final evaluation of FOSDA’s monitoring of the GHANAP II project in Accra. The meeting included participants from government institutions, security agencies and civil society organisations.
