In Ghana, women are making significant strides in leadership, business, and entrepreneurship. From corporate boardrooms to thriving startups, female leaders shape industries, drive innovation, and challenge the status quo. Yet, despite these advancements, women still face systemic challenges—limited access to funding, underrepresentation in executive roles, and societal biases that hinder their full potential.
According to the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), over 44% of businesses in Ghana are owned by women, making the country one of the leading nations for female entrepreneurship. However, a 2023 report by the African Development Bank revealed that women-led businesses in Africa receive less than 10% of available funding, despite their potential for high impact and growth. Clearly, there is more work to be done to create equal opportunities for female executives and entrepreneurs.
This is where the Female CEO Summit comes in.
The Need for the Female CEO Summit
The Female CEO Summit is more than just an event—it is a movement designed to equip women with the tools, knowledge, and networks they need to thrive in leadership and business. It is a platform that brings together high-level female executives, entrepreneurs, and industry experts to share experiences, discuss challenges, and provide solutions that can drive change.
Here’s why this event is critical for Ghana’s corporate and entrepreneurial landscape:
Bridging the Gender Leadership Gap
- Despite progress, women still hold only 16% of CEO positions in Ghanaian companies. The summit provides a platform for aspiring female leaders to learn directly from women who have successfully navigated their way to the top.
Access to Mentorship & Networking
- Studies show that 70% of female professionals believe mentorship is crucial for career growth, yet fewer than 30% have a mentor. The summit fosters mentorship by connecting young and mid-career professionals with industry leaders.
Empowering Women-Led Businesses
- With funding disparities still a major hurdle, the event will feature discussions on fundraising strategies, investment opportunities, and financial literacy, helping female entrepreneurs scale their businesses.
Creating Policy Conversations
- Gender equality in leadership is not just a social issue—it is an economic one. The World Economic Forum states that closing the gender gap in the workplace could add $28 trillion to the global economy by 2025. The summit will push forward discussions on policy reforms and corporate strategies that can drive gender-inclusive leadership in Ghana.
