Vice President is passionate about youth, women’s development – Ama Pratt

Vice President Nana Jane Opoku-Agyemang is prioritizing youth and women’s development as key pillars of her tenure, with initiatives aimed at education, economic empowerment, and social progress.

Speaking on State of Affairs with Joshua Kodjo Mensah, her Press Secretary and Spokesperson, Ama Pratt, highlighted the Vice President’s deep commitment to creating opportunities for young people and ensuring women have a stronger voice in national development.

“She is passionate about ensuring that young people and women in this country get their due,” Pratt stated. “It’s not just about having women at the table for representation’s sake, it’s about real impact, economic growth, and national development.”

One of the major policies championed by the Vice President is the establishment of the Women’s Development Bank, an initiative aimed at providing financial support and capacity-building programs for women entrepreneurs. According to Pratt, this bank is designed not just for women but with women as key stakeholders in its structure and decision-making.

Beyond economic empowerment, education remains a major focus for the Vice President. Having previously served as Minister of Education and the first female Vice-Chancellor of a public university, she has a track record of advocating for accessible and quality education. Pratt emphasized that she is particularly invested in initiatives that support young girls, including the government’s free sanitary pad distribution program.

“She was ridiculed for this policy in the past, but today, it is a national priority. Over GHC 290 million has been allocated for sanitary pads for schoolgirls because she understands that something as basic as menstrual health should not stand in the way of a girl’s education,” Pratt explained.

The Vice President’s influence also extends to leadership development, with a strong emphasis on mentoring young women and ensuring more females rise to key decision-making positions. Pratt pointed out that Opoku-Agyemang has consistently pushed for practical solutions to challenges that hinder youth and women’s progress.

“She believes in actionable change. Long before politics, she would say that sometimes development is just about fixing the small things like hiring local artisans to repair school furniture instead of waiting for new supplies. That’s the kind of leadership she brings,” Pratt said.

As the administration advances its agenda, expectations are high that the Vice President’s leadership will continue to drive positive change for young people and women in Ghana. Pratt is confident that her legacy will be one of transformation and inclusivity.

“This is not just about breaking barriers, it’s about making sure that others can follow. She is ensuring that the doors she has opened remain open for the next generation,” she concluded.
