Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED Ghana) and the Ghana Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Service have signed a partnership to promote the rights of females and persons with disability in TVET institutions.
The Memorandum of Partnership (MoP), signed on Wednesday, January 21, provides a framework for collaboration on programmes of mutual interest and shared priorities.
A release copied to the Ghana News Agency said CAMFED Ghana would work with the Ghana TVET Service to integrate CAMFED’s Learner Guide Programme into TVET schools.
“The organisations will also champion the TVET rights of females and persons with disability through advocacy and policy engagement, while promoting the TVET sector in Ghana overall,” it said.
Under the agreed framework, the Ghana TVET Service would inform CAMFED’s alumnae network, known as the CAMFED Association (CAMA), about opportunities for training, apprenticeship and employment within the TVET sector.
It said CAMFED Ghana would, in turn, support the Ghana TVET Service to model CAMFED’s give-back programme and institutionalise an alumni programme modelled around the CAMA network.
The agreement further states that the two institutions would collaborate to promote child protection and safeguarding practices in the TVET sector in line with CAMFED’s Child Protection Policy and Code of Practice.
“It is CAMFED’s firm belief that the working partnership with Ghana TVET Service will be a huge step towards promoting participation of females in male-dominated TVET areas, while integrating some of its best practices in the TVET sector as part of its systems transformation agenda,” the release added.
The Ghana TVET Service, an agency under the Ministry of Education, was established by the Pre-Tertiary Education Act, 2020, as a corporate body to manage, oversee and implement approved national policies and programmes relating to pre-tertiary technical and vocational education and training.
It is mandated to ensure effective regulation, coordination, standardisation and quality of instruction in TVET, recognising the sector as a key driver of Ghana’s industrialisation agenda.
In August last year, CAMFED Ghana signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ghana Enterprises Agency (GEA) to champion the entrepreneurial rights of young women through advocacy and policy engagement.
The partnership sought, among other objectives, to deepen the work of District Business Committees while mainstreaming child protection and safeguarding practices in skills development training for Ghanaian youth.

Lawyers for former NAFCO Chief Executive Officer, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, say they will file an appeal despite a High Court directive for the Attorney General to amend two counts of defrauding by false pretences in the ongoing case.
The court on Wednesday ordered the AG to amend the two charges in the case involving the former NAFCO CEO and co-accused, Faiza Seidu Wuni.
Reacting to the ruling, counsel for Hanan Aludiba, Godfred Yeboah Dame, expressed dissatisfaction with the decision.
“Even though they’ve been ordered to amend some of the charges, we’ll still file an appeal. I think the decision was not so sound,” he said.
The case is part of ongoing prosecutions linked to alleged financial irregularities at the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO).
The High Court’s directive means the prosecution will have to revise aspects of the charge sheet before the trial proceeds further.
Background
Counsel for former NAFCO CEO Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, led by Godfred Yeboah Dame, filed an application seeking to have the charges against their client dismissed.
They contend the charges are fundamentally flawed and violate his right to a fair trial.
The State, represented by Deputy Attorney General Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, opposed the application, maintaining that the charges are valid and that the accused ought to face trial.
Lawyers for Hanan’s wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, led by Augustine Obour, who would also benefit if the application succeeded, yielded their time to the lead counsel for the first accused.

High Court rejects dismissal request in NAFCO Case, orders prosecution to amend 2 of 16 Charges Against former CEO
The High Court has declined a request by lead counsel for former National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) Chief Executive Officer, Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba, to dismiss charges against him, but has directed the Attorney General to amend two of the 16 counts filed against him.
Presiding Judge, Justice Francis Apangabonu Achibonga, a Justice of the Court of Appeal sitting with additional responsibility as a High Court judge, ruled today that while the prosecution must revise Counts 9 and 14, the trial will proceed on all charges.
This means the trial of the couple will continue on a combined 20 counts.
Hanan Abdul-Wahab Aludiba is facing 16 counts, while his wife, Faiza Seidu Wuni, is facing 4 counts. Both pleaded not guilty on May 18, 2026 and are currently on bail.
Godfred Yeboah Dame, former Attorney General and lead counsel for the first accused, had argued for the dismissal of the charges. Reacting after the ruling, he said the decision was not sound and indicated plans to file an appeal.
“Even though they’ve been ordered to amend some of the charges, we’ll still file an appeal. I think the decision was not so sound,” he stated.
Augustines Obuor is lead counsel for the second accused, Faiza Seidu Wuni, whiles the Republic was represented by Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, Deputy Attorney General.
The case relates to alleged financial irregularities at NAFCO and is being closely watched as part of government’s efforts to hold public officials accountable.
The court has directed the prosecution to effect the amendments to Counts 9 and 14 before the trial proceeds further.
