Brein Consult, a media and event management organisation, has, in collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Children’s Affairs, launched a programme to honour the efforts and contribution of women to national development.
The programme, slated for May 10, 2009, is on the theme, “Celebrating Womanhood, A key Element for National Development.
Touching on the essence of the programme, the Executive Secretary of Brein Consult, Ms Augustina Serwa Ansa-Bonsu, said there was the need to honour women, because they played a vital role in development, adding, “We believe honouring and appreciating the pain and tears of womanhood will inspire them to take up the mantle of leadership and responsibility.”
She said the ceremony signified the uniqueness of women, adding that the awards sought to identify and appreciate female role models for the young generation.
Launching the award ceremony, the Queen of Offinso Kayera, Nana Ama Serwa Bonsu, who lauded the initiative, pointed out that celebrating women’s achievements and promoting women’s empowerment were steps in the right direction, since according to her, Ghanaian women had contributed immensely towards the stability and development of the nation.
The Frafra Chief of Asante, Naba Musa Akambonga II, was optimistic that the programme would spur on the youth to strive for excellence in all their endeavours to achieve honours.
The awards are in various categories and include education, security, sports, entertainment and media.
The nominations for the various awards were done by heads of the various institutions in the aforementioned categories.
Two nominees were presented for the awards, after which a research team from the MOWAC and Brein Consult selected the final winners.
The nominees are women who have worked with their organisations for more than 10 years, were on high repute in their various fields of work and had achieved a lot in their various fields of interest.
