Helen Adjoa Ntoso, has called on the government to ensure that all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) receive specific budgetary allocations for the implementation of gender-responsive initiatives in the 2026 budget.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking to some members of the Parliamentary Corps in Parliament on Monday, July 28, 2025, Hon. Ntoso emphasized that the passage of the Affirmative Action (Gender Equality) Act in 2024 must be matched with concrete funding measures to ensure its effective implementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have passed the Affirmative Action Bill into law, and now we need to close the gender equity gaps it was designed to address,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She expressed concern over the current state of female representation in Ghana, especially in leadership and political decision-making spaces.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0<strong><em>\u201cOut of the 276 Members of Parliament, only 41 are women \u2013 that\u2019s just 14%. We are far below the international benchmarks and targets set under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 5 on gender equality,\u201d she noted.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Citing data from the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Hon. Ntoso pointed out that Ghana ranks poorly on global gender parity indices. \u201cWe are currently around 114 out of 147 countries when it comes to women\u2019s representation. That\u2019s a clear sign we are lagging behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21573\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21573\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21573\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/HON-HELEN-NTOSO.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"667\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Hon Helen Ntoso, MP for Krachi West<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The MP for Krachi West underscored the need for gender-responsive budgeting that extends beyond the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen budgets are prepared, gender issues should be factored into allocations across all sectors \u2013 from education and health to trade, defence, and sports,\u201d she said. \u201cCurrently, over 80% of the Gender Ministry\u2019s budget is spent on programmes like the School Feeding Programme and LEAP, leaving little room for other critical interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Ntoso also advocated for the introduction of a quota system to boost female representation, referencing Rwanda\u2019s success in achieving over 60% women\u2019s representation in parliament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA quota system that allocates seats to youth, civil society, and other stakeholder groups can significantly raise the numbers,\u201d she proposed.<\/p>\n<p>She stressed the urgency of meeting international and regional commitments to gender parity.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21499\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21499\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21499\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/521583609_1079682574269907_7639374672653279881_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21499\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Minister for Finance , Ato Forson<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAccording to global timelines, Ghana is expected to achieve 30% female representation by 2027, 35% by 2028, and 50% by 2034.
