Ghana: Quota System Prudent
At a workshop in Akosombo, political parties with representation in Parliament called for the establishment of a voluntary quota of 30 per cent positions for women in the administration of political parties, the selection of parliamentary candidates and the appointment of district chief executives. The call for the implementation is part of the affirmative action to address the imbalances in representation at the different levels of the political spectrum.
