The Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) has pledged to provide tailor-made support services to female entrepreneurs in the export business to help increase earnings from the sector.
It said beyond helping expand their businesses, the support would equip them to bridge the gender inequality in the private sector.
The strategy is part of the authority’s broader plan to help the country achieve the United Nations’ (UN’s) Sustainable Development Goal Five, which enjoins countries to create equal opportunities for both genders by 2030.
In the gender context of the National Export Development Strategy (NEDS), women have been identified as the main agents of change to achieve equitable social balance and social justice.
