GPGD Network seeks stronger partnership with Gender Ministry on education and social development
The Graduates and Professionals of the Ga-Dangme Network (GPGD) held discussions with the Ministry for Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) to explore collaboration on education, women empowerment, youth development and broader community transformation initiatives.
The engagement was led by the President of the Network, Emmanuel Obodai, who explained that the organisation was established in 2023 and registered in 2024. The Network now has over 600 members drawn from diverse backgrounds. Mr. Obodai highlighted the Network's involvement in education-focused interventions, particularly its partnership with Plan Ghana under the Ghana Education Outcomes Project (GEOP). The initiative identified and validated over 2,500 children between the ages of 8 and 16, all of whom are currently undergoing structured learning programmes ahead of reintegration into mainstream schooling, although the initial target was 1,000 children. Mr. Obodai also reaffirmed the Network's readiness to deepen cooperation with the Ministry to advance child protection, social development and women empowerment initiatives across the country.
The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, commended the Network for its contribution to education and community development and assured that the Ministry remains open to partnerships with organisations whose work aligns with its mandate of promoting the welfare of women, children and vulnerable groups.
