About Our Organization

Get to know us

The issue of women’s involvement in politics in Ghana remains a topic of significant concern and discussion. While progress has been made over the past decade, there are still notable challenges that hinder women from actively participating in political leadership roles.

 Elect HER Ghana is a non-partisan organization that firmly believes in harnessing the vast and untapped potential of women for Ghana’s socio-economic growth across all sectors. We aim to create an inclusive environment that empowers women, broadens their leadership capacities and drives policy and societal changes towards gender equality.

Our Vision

We envision a Ghana where women are not just heard but celebrated. A Ghana where every woman has the opportunity to step into her potential, lead with confidence, and drive positive change in her community. Our vision extends beyond national boundaries to encompass a global commitment to advancing women’s empowerment and development. 

Our Mission

Elect Her Ghana is committed to providing women with the tools, resources, and support they need to become influential leaders in all spheres of life. Our mission is to:

We are a small yet powerful team, comprising five dedicated members spread across Ghana. Our diversity encompasses various lived experiences and beliefs, fueling our collaboration efforts.

Our Goals

Despite Ghana’s significant strides towards gender equality, women continue to be under presented in leadership positions across public and private sectors. Societal norms, gender stereotypes and a lack of access to education and resources often presents structural barriers that hinders women from taking on leadership roles. Based on this elect HER Ghana has come up with five main goals to help address the issue of gender inequality in leadership roles in Ghana.

Goal 1

Train five thousand young women (age 15-36) on civic education and rights

Goal 2

Recognizing and celebrating women of excellence in Ghana and Africa

Goal 3
