Aspiring Upper East Regional Women Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress, NDC, Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Afiuc, has promised a holistic empowerment of women within the party to enable them generate income for themselves and the party as well.

According to her, the economic empowerment of the women’s wing of the party was in line with her vision to ensure that they become self-reliant in carrying out their own line of activities rather than depending on resources from the party’s Regional and National Headquarters for operations.

She observed that the Upper East Region is blessed with a lot of raw materials, reiterating the fact that under her watch as women organizer, value will be added to these raw materials as a way of equipping the women with entrepreneurial skills for income generation for them.

Speaking to Radio Ghana’s Samuel Ayammah in Bolgatanga, Mrs. Afiuc disclosed that she will consolidate the contributions of her predecessors by promoting cottage industries under her tenure.

This, she explained, will serve as a life wire for the women to cater for their families as well as contribute immensely to the growth of the party.

She underscored the significant role women play in political party activities and added that the first phase of her vision will be to train constituency women organizers in various fields under the cottage industry, for them to also train their female polling station executives.

The immediate past District Chief Executive for Builsa South noted that it will create more jobs for the teeming women of the party, disclosing that it’s been her long-term dream for the party’s women’s wing, and urged delegates to vote for her in the upcoming regional elections for the dream to become a reality.

The aspirant disclosed that the acceptance and support for her vision was overwhelming throughout the constituencies, but stressed that the vision could only come to fruition if she was given the opportunity to lead the women in the NDC.
